Totally Hidden Video is an American hidden-camera television show that aired from 1989 to 1992. It was one of the early shows in the history of the Fox television network and held the highest viewing share for any Fox program at one point. It was produced by Quantum Media and Fox.

The show premiered on Sunday, July 9, 1989.Steve Skrovan was the program's first host, later replaced by Mark Pitta in 1991.

The show was accused of using paid actors in a lawsuit filed against the Fox Broadcasting Co. by Candid Camera's creator Allen Funt, who also accused the show of stealing his ideas. While the producers admitted that the series pilot had staged some of the "setups", they swore all skits which made it to air were legitimate. However, in the wake of the controversy, series producer Larry Hovis was fired for staging incidents.
