The Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 金鐘獎) is an annual Taiwanese television production award presented by Taiwan's Government Information Office in October or November each year. It is the first television production award in Chinese circulation, founded in 1965, and Taiwan's equivalent to the Emmy Awards. It is also one of the three major annual awards presented in Taiwan, along with the Golden Melody Awards for music and the Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards for movies and films.

Currently, there are two main streams presented at separate ceremonies: Television Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 電視金鐘獎) and Broadcast Golden Bell Awards (Chinese: 廣播金鐘獎).

When they began the awards only focused on news programs, music shows and advertisements. After five years, however, television programs were also included.

Many people think that Golden Bell Awards' accredit system is not fair. In 2011, particularly, the results of the 46th Golden Bell Awards urged the community to bombard the members of the voting group to explain their choice, using Facebook, because they were not satisfied with the results of the awards presented. In defense, Huang Zijiao, a former judge for the awards, explained that the rules and the accrediting system of Golden Bell Awards did not change completely. This only resulted in more people not participating in future awards presentation. In addition, some argued that nine people voting for the Golden Bell Awards is not fair as people believe this will become a very subjective choice by the judges. Three of the judges in the 46th Golden Bell Awards were questioned by the general public that they were not worthy to be professionals in the television industry. In other words, the vice broad of director of an amusement park, and an illustrator and assistant professor in a university were not ideal for being judges.

This is the complete list of Golden Bell Awards winners. It is organized by year starting from 1965 until 2012 (present).
