transmediale, stylised in lowercase, is an annual festival and year-round cultural platform for art, digital culture and media theory in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1988 as VideoFilmFest, a video and media art programme connected to the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), the event later expanded from video art into multimedia, internet culture, software art, theory, performance, exhibitions, workshops and research-based formats.

The festival usually takes place in late January or early February. Its programme includes exhibitions, conferences, screenings, performances, workshops and publications, often organised around an annual curatorial theme. Since 2004, transmediale has received long-term support from the German Federal Cultural Foundation (Kulturstiftung des Bundes).

The CTM Festival, originally founded as club transmediale, developed in close relation to transmediale but later became an independent festival for experimental music, sound art and audiovisual performance.
