AVROTROS ({{IPA|nl|ˌaːvroːˈtrɔs}}) is a Dutch radio and television broadcaster that is part of the Dutch public broadcasting system. It was founded in 2014 as the result of a merger between the Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep (AVRO) and the Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS). The name AVROTROS has been used for jointly produced programmes since 1 January 2014. Since 7 September 2014, all existing AVRO and TROS programmes have also been broadcast under the name AVROTROS.[http://www.avrotros.nl/site/over-avrotros/historie/ Historie], AVROTROS (in Dutch).

Before 2014, the AVRO was housed in the {{ill|AKN (foundation)|lt=AKN|nl|AKN}} building in Hilversum from 2000, while the TROS operated from the former Christelijk Lyceum, also in Hilversum, from 1970.[http://www.tgooi.info/omroep/tros.php 'vm Christelijk Lyceum, nu TROS-studio'], Regio Gooi en Vechtstreek - Foto's en informatie (geraadpleegd: 8 september 2014). On 20 June 2012, it was announced that both broadcasters would move into the Wereldomroepgebouw after the merger.[http://www.gooieneemlander.nl/regionaal/gooivechtstreek/article16311073.ece 'Avro en Tros willen naar Wereldomroep-pand'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304122442/http://www.gooieneemlander.nl/regionaal/gooivechtstreek/article16311073.ece |date=4 March 2016 }}, De Gooi- en Eemlander, 20 juni 2012 (geraadpleegd: 8 september 2014). The move was completed after a renovation on 1 January 2014.

In 2014, AVROTROS started using the Vondelparkpaviljoen in Amsterdam, which had been renovated and renamed "Vondel CS".[https://web.archive.org/web/20140512221050/http://www.west.amsterdam.nl/projecten/overige_projecten/vondelparkpaviljoen/ Vondelparkpaviljoen in het Vondelpark te Amsterdam] west.amsterdam.nl[http://www.parool.nl/parool/nl/4041/AMSTERDAM-ZUID/article/detail/3653599/2014/05/12/AVROTROS-opent-omroephuis-in-Vondelpark.dhtml AVROTROS opent omroephuis in Vondelpark], parool.nl; 12 mei 2014.
