Umagang Kay Ganda (Lit. A Morning So Beautiful) is a Philippine morning show broadcast by ABS-CBN. The show premiered on June 25, 2007, and currently airs every weekday mornings from 4:55-8:00am.

The main ingredient they have added in this morning show is audience interaction and participation. In line with this new format, they are airing their show from Club O (formerly Dish) in the ABS-CBN compound to make the show more accessible to the public. The show includes live traffic points and regional news. They had set up six traffic points within Metro Manila.

At 6:15 a.m., ABS-CBN Regional stations cut this program mid-way, without any notice, to air 45 minutes of local morning programming. Each local morning program features local news and features. These are the list of local morning programs produced by the Regional Network Group except since 1993 with Maayong Buntag Mindanao in Davao (Southern Mindanao), since 2005 with Maayong Buntag Kapamilya in Cebu (Central Visayas) and since 2006 with Sikat Ka! Iloilo in Iloilo and Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao in General Santos/Cotabato (Socsksargen and Central Mindanao).

Umagang Kay Ganda premiered on June 25, 2007 at 5:15 am, replacing Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas. Original hosts included Edu Manzano, Pinky Webb, Anthony Taberna, Alex Santos, Winnie Cordero, Donita Rose, Zenaida Seva, Ogie Diaz, Kim Atienza, Bernadette Sembrano, and Rica Peralejo. However, Manzano and Diaz left the show a year later as the former was to run for Vice President and be acquired by GMA Network two years later and the latter to concentrate hosting Entertainment Live.
