Tracey Breaks the News is a British topical comedy programme starring Tracey Ullman. It premiered on BBC One on 27 October 2017 following a one-off special that aired on 23 June.

After the success of the one-off special on 13 September 2017, the BBC announced that it had ordered three new episodes of Tracey Breaks the News. Like the pilot, the three new shows would "tackle topical stories and current issues in a sketch show written and filmed right up to the day of broadcast." It was also reported that Ullman would impersonate French First Lady Brigitte Macron and Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn.

On 15 May 2018, it was formally announced that the show had been picked up for a second series, which began airing in June on BBC One.

The show has been re-cut and sold internationally under the Tracey Ullman's Show banner.
