Lecture Room is a Chinese television programme produced by China Central Television (CCTV), in which scholars from various disciplines are invited to provide lectures. It was first broadcast on 9 July 2001 on CCTV-10. In its early days, featured topics included biology, physics, economics, history and literature, and the lecturers were from around the world. Its focus has gradually changed, as recent programmes focus more on Chinese history and Chinese culture.
The show's title is literally translated as The Hundred Schools of Thought Forum. Lecture Room is only an English adaptation of its Chinese title.
