Seven Sharp is a half-hour-long New Zealand current affairs programme produced by Television New Zealand. The programme was created after the discontinuation of Close Up. It is broadcast live from the TVNZ studio it shares with 1 News in Auckland, at 7 pm (straight after 1 News at Six) every weekday on TVNZ 1. Seven Sharp typically presents 3 stories within a 30-minute timeslot every weeknight, and is designed to be more integrated with social media and real time opinions than its predecessor.

Seven Sharp competes mostly with TV3 current affairs show The Project. It currently shares its time slot with sister channel TVNZ 2's drama Shortland Street.

The show is presented by ex-Breakfast presenter Toni Street and radio presenter Mike Hosking. Current fill-in presenters are Fair Go presenter Pippa Wetzell and 1 News backup anchor Melissa Stokes. Previously, fill-in presenters have included Stacey Morrison, Heather du Plessis-Allan, Te Radar, Clarke Gayford, Tamati Coffey, Matt Gibb, Chris Cairns, Brendon Pongia and Rose Matafeo. On one occasion, American actor Rob Schneider appeared as co-host.
