A '''''tertulia''''' ({{IPA|es|teɾˈtulja|lang}}, {{IPA|gl|teɾˈtuljɐ|lang}}; {{langx|pt|tertúlia}} {{IPA|pt|tɨɾˈtuliɐ|}}; {{langx|ca|tertúlia}} {{IPA|ca|təɾˈtuliə|}}) is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones, especially in [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberia]] or in [[Spanish America]]. Tertulia also means an informal meeting of people to talk about current affairs, arts, etc. The word is originally [[Spanish language|Spanish]] (borrowed by [[Catalan language|Catalan]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]), but it has only moderate currency in English, used mainly in describing Latin cultural contexts.

Occasionally, a ''tertulia'' may also describe a television magazine or [[Talk show|chat show]] programme in a similar (albeit perhaps more sensationalist) format to its older counterpart.
