"The Armed Forces Hour" was an early American television program originally broadcast on NBC and later on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. The series ran from 1949 to 1951. Despite the title of the series, it was a half-hour program.

"The Armed Forces Hour" was a television program "culled from the estimated 500 million feet of film" archived at the U.S. Department of Defense. Production was supervised by Major Robert Keim and Lieutenant Benjamin Greenberg.McNeil, Alex (1980). "Total Television" (4th ed.). New York: Penguin Books. ISBN 0-14-024916-8.]

After a one-season run on NBC, the network cancelled the series in 1950. In February of 1951, however, the series was picked up by the DuMont Television Network. The series' last episode aired on 6 May 1951.
