慢扫描电视（Slow-scan television）是业余无线电爱好者的一种主要图片传输方法，慢扫描电视通过无线电传输和接收单色或彩色静态图片。

慢扫描电视的一个术语名称是窄带电视。广播电视需要6MHz的带宽，因为帧速为25到30fps。慢扫描电视的带宽只有3kHz，因此慢扫描电视是一种慢得多的静态图像传输方法，通常每帧需要持续8秒或若干分钟。

业余无线电操作员通常在短波（或高频）、甚高频、超高频波段使用慢扫描电视。

Slow-scan television (SSTV) is a picture transmission method used mainly by amateur radio operators, to transmit and receive static pictures via radio in monochrome or color.

A technical term for SSTV is narrowband television. Analog broadcast television requires at least 6 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 picture frames per second (in the NTSC, PAL or SECAM color systems), but SSTV usually only takes up to a maximum of 3 kHz of bandwidth. It is a much slower method of still picture transmission, usually taking from about eight seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the mode used, to transmit one image frame.
