HBTV (Hanna-Barbera Television) is a series of animated music videos created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1985 and 1986 featuring clips from various animated Hanna-Barbera programmes. The animated videos were similar to Disney's D-TV and MTV and were originally broadcast as interstitials between segments of the syndicated programming block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera.

Each episode of The Funtastic World during the 1985–1987 season featured HBTV segments which included hits like "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr., "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell and many others.
