Meeting of Minds is a television series, created by Steve Allen, which aired on PBS from 1977 to 1981.

Guests would interact with each other and host Steve Allen, discussing philosophy, religion, history, science, and many other topics.

Allen then personally financed the development of six additional one-hour programs, which were ultimately produced by PBS beginning in 1977.

The Canadian television series Witness to Yesterday, created by Arthur Voronka, aired three years before Allen's Emmy-award-winning local program.

In French-speaking Canada, a version titled Les grands esprits ("The Great Minds") aired on Radio-Canada from 1982 to 1989.
