Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010 is the third teen edition and the eighth series overall of the Philippine reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother. It began airing on the night of April 10, 2010 (PHT) and ended over two months later on June 26 of the same year. This is the first Teen Edition to be held after a regular season instead of a Celebrity Edition. Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales and Mariel Rodriguez reprise their roles as hosts of the show. It lasted for 78 days, surpassing the second Teen edition for the longest Teen Edition by only one day.

There were two sets of auditions for this edition. The first was held simultaneously with those of the third regular season from March to May 2009. As these auditions were held a year in advance, the age limit was lowered to 14-17. A second set of auditions was held in March 2010, this time with an advanced registration through SMS, the age limit for auditioning was 15-18. A total of around 50,000 auditioned, from which 16 were chosen to enter the house on Day 1. A total of 27 housemates have entered the House, including the replacement housemate that entered on Day 20 and 10 foreign teens that entered on Day 22.

James Reid of Australia emerged as the winner of the season.

Like the previous edition, Double Up, Teen Clash 2010 uses two houses, both summer vacation-themed with beach murals, hammocks, and other amenities. House A is called the Villa, to be inhabited by housemates who have simple backgrounds. In contrast, those who are well-to-do would live in House B, dubbed the Apartment. The Villa and the Apartment have similar amenities. The difference is that the Villa has the swimming and separate bedrooms, complete with furnished beds. The Apartment only has a jacuzzi and terrace and includes a large communal sleeping area without any beds, hence the use of the banig (see Chronology section).
