Hugo the TV troll (tv-trolden Hugo in Danish) is an international media franchise which was created by the Danish company Interactive Television Entertainment (ITE) in 1990 for the purpose of interactive television for children. It is based on the titular fictional character of Hugo, a friendly, small Scandinavian folklore troll fighting against evil villains, often to save his family. Since its premiere in 1990, the original game show has been aired in more than 40 other countries, spawning dozens of video games for various platforms as well as numerous other merchandise, including dedicated magazines.

The show is set in contemporary fantasy universe. The franchise's titular protagonist Hugo is a one-meter-tall troll living in "troll forest" located somewhere in Scandinavia. Hugo's family include his wife Hugolina (Hugoline in the original Danish version) and their kids Rit (TrolleRit), Rat (TrolleRat) and Rut (TrolleRut). The main antagonist is the ancient evil witch named Scylla (Afskylia), who has had a grudge against the trolls for centuries. Scylla often kidnaps Hugo's family because she needs their presence to restore and keep her youth and beauty.

The idea for an interactive video game TV show was conceived in 1987 by Ivan Sølvason, founder of SilverRock Productions, former editor-in-chief of COMPuter magazine and creator of the interactive TV programs OsWALD and Super OsWALD, made for Nordisk Film's TV2 Denmark in 1988, and Niels Krogh Mortensen, an animator. Sølvason's small company SilverRock Productions, which was later renamed as Interactive Television Entertainment (ITE) ApS in 1992, developed the character of Hugo as well as the designated, custom-built computer hardware system that would convert telephone signals into remotely control the characters in the game and allow the interaction of the audience and the TV action without delay. Sølvason and Krogh Mortensen created the concept of "Hugo the TV troll" and the Hugo TV program targeted for the children audience between the ages of four to 14 was launched in September 1990.
