Pray TV is a 1980 comedy film spoofing televangelism. The film stars Dabney Coleman, Paul Cooper, Rosemary Alexander, and Lewis Arquette. It was directed by Rick Friedberg. The band Devo appears and plays as "Dove", a Christian rock band.

A failing UHF TV station is "reborn" as Christian television station KGOD. The new format is a big success but attracts an incompatible mix of fringe ministries and broadcasters wanting time on the station. A series of humorous vignettes show the different religious shows the station broadcasts: a faith healer, a radical black nationalist preacher, a preacher with a drive-in church, a Christian game show, etc.

The film is very similar in both plot and style to the film UHF which was released in 1989.
