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 (black-and-white) or colour.

A technical term for SSTV is narrowband television. Broadcast television requires huge 5, 6 or 8 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 pictures per second (in the NTSC, PAL or SECAM systems), but SSTV usually takes up to only 3 kHz of bandwidth. It is a much slower method of data transmission and thus sends still pictures, usually lasting from about ten seconds to a couple of minutes.

Since SSTV systems operate on voice frequencies, amateurs use it on shortwave, VHF and UHF radio.
