Horizon (televisieprogramma)

Horizon is een televisieprogramma van de BBC dat toegankelijke wetenschap- en geschiedenisdocumentaires maakt en uitzendt. De eerste uitzending was in 1964.

De invalshoek die het programma doorgaans gebruikt is het relateren van een behandeld onderwerp aan iets wat het huidige dagelijks leven beïnvloedt. Dat kunnen eenvoudige concepten zijn, maar ook meer ingewikkelde onderwerpen die zo eenvoudig mogelijk uitgelegd worden. Afleveringen duren ongeveer 50 minuten per stuk.

Horizon is al bekroond met onder meer een BAFTA en een Emmy Award voor 'beste documentaire'.
