This I Believe is an early Australian television program. Broadcast 5 nights a week on Sydney station ATN-7, it debuted 3 December 1956 (on ATN's second day of programming). It was a 15-minute program in which Eric Baume would provide a commentary on current world events. At the end of each TV program he would say "This I believe". The program ended around July 1958. According to television listings in the Sydney Morning Herald, the last few episodes of the program aired in an 11-minute time-slot.

This I Believe was also a radio program with Baume, which debuted before the television series.
