'''U&Dave''' is a British [[free-to-air]] [[television channel]] owned by [[UKTV]], a subsidiary of [[BBC Studios]]. It is known for broadcasting mainly 21st-century comedy and factual programming, with both original production and repeats.

Launched in October 1998 as UK Gold Classics, the channel would undergo various identity and format changes before adopting the Dave branding on 15 October 2007. It was renamed U&Dave in July 2024 to mark the streaming service UKTV Play being renamed as [[U (streaming service)|U]].<ref name=u/>

U&DaveJaVu is its sister [[timeshift channel]]. Unlike other commercial channels, it doesn't have a "+1" next to it and is named after the term [[déjà vu]].
