Ođđasat is a Sámi television news programme broadcast in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Jointly produced by NRK, SVT and Yle, the public service broadcasters in their respective countries, the programme is presented from NRK's studio in Norway.

It is broadcast from Monday to Friday, ten months a year. Each programme is around 15 minutes long and deals mostly with Sami issues but also has Nordic and world news, often dealing with other indigenous peoples. Most reports are from the official Sápmi areas; only rarely are there news stories about other places with significant Sámi populations (e.g. Oslo, Umeå) unless the stories also involve Sápmi areas. No Russian companies are known to have been involved in the production or by submitting stories.
