Meet the Press, a presentation of Ten News, is an Australian Sunday morning talk show based on the national political agenda. Hosted by Network Ten's Parliament House Bureau Chief and Political Editor Paul Bongiorno, the program has firmly established itself as an agenda-setting forum that attracts the nation's leaders discussing the big news stories of the week.

Usually the format will include two guests – one politician and a secondary guest who may be a politician or industry expert. A panel of two journalists join Bongiorno to question the guests on the week's political issues and news.

Meet The Press airs on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am on Network Ten. The show has been running since October 1992. The program’s first guest was the then Prime Minister Paul Keating.

Ten News news presenter David Johnston was the original host. Paul Bongiorno took over as host in 1996. In 2010 Ten News's Senior Political Correspondent Hugh Riminton will share the presenting role with Bongiorno, which was formerly held by Ten News Sydney presenter Deborah Knight.

The program was also on the Seven Network in 1958.
