Matanglawin (Baybayin: ᜋᜆᜅ᜔ᜎᜏᜒᜈ᜔, lit. 'hawkeye') is a Philippine television informative show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Hosted by Kim Atienza, it aired from March 24, 2008 to May 3, 2020, replacing Noypi, Ikaw Ba ‘To? and was replaced by KB Family Weekend on Kapamilya Channel's sunday morning timeslot.

The show aired its final broadcast on May 3, 2020, due to the ABS-CBN shutdown because of the cease and desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995, the denial of the franchise and the retrenchment of employees. Re-runs of the show aired on Knowledge Channel via Extracurricular subject, and on A2Z every weekends under Kidz Weekend morning block. The show eventually did not go back on-air as Kuya Kim transferred to GMA Network on October 4, 2021.
