The CCTV New Year's Gala, also known as the Spring Festival Gala, and commonly abbreviated in Chinese as "Chunwan", is a Chinese New Year special produced by China Media Group (CMG). It is broadcast annually (since 1983) on the eve of Chinese New Year on its flagship CCTV-1 and internationally through the China Global Television Network.

The Gala has the largest audience of any entertainment show in the world, and is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's most watched television program. The 2018 edition of the Gala attracted more than one billion viewers. The 2021 Spring Festival Gala reached 1.27 billion viewers both on TV and new media platforms during the live broadcast on Thursday (Feb 11) as China welcomed the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The program is a variety show, often featuring music, dance, comedy, and drama performances. It has become a ritual for many Chinese families, including overseas Chinese, to watch the show on Chinese New Year's Eve. Many "Chunwan" performers have emerged as household names in China solely as a result of their recurring appearances on the program.
