TK Maxx is a discount clothing and homewares retailer, that opened in the UK in 1994. It is currently based in Watford, England. It is owned by American retailer TJ Maxx, which could not trade under the initials "TJ" in the UK due to the British discount chain TJ Hughes.

TK Maxx is an off price retailer that purchases stock when opportunities arise, rather than purchasing seasonally, in advance. This results in the company stocking a large number of brands, with products changing frequently, and being sold at lower prices. TK Maxx has expanded across Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Poland and Australia, and also trades as Homesense.
