Let There Be Stars was a variety television series broadcast on ABC in 1949, the first program to originate in Hollywood for a major TV network. It debuted on October 16, 1949, and ended on November 27, 1949. It was a high-budget show for its time, and used new production techniques such as "Teleparencies", transparencies which could be displayed in the background, faded in or out or dissolved, and changed on the fly. The idea of the program was to highlight up-and-coming actors and actresses who had been found by a talent scout working to cast new performers in Broadway shows.

Variety magazine praised the premiere episode in a review, but the program's success did not last. The first seven episodes are stored at the Paley Center for Media. The archive also has a "rough rehearsal kinescope" of one of the episodes. Peter Marshall was the host.
