Lorimar Television, Inc., formerly Lorimar Productions, Inc. and later known as the original incarnation of Lorimar Television and Lorimar Distribution, was an American production company that was later a subsidiary of Warner Bros., active from 1969 until 1993, when it was folded into Warner Bros. Television (which is currently known as Warner Bros. Television Studios). It was founded by Irwin Molasky, Merv Adelson, and Lee Rich. The company's name was a portmanteau of Adelson's then wife, Lori and Palomar Airport.
In 1989, Lorimar was purchased by Warner Communications, which was merging with Time Inc. to form Time Warner, one of the world's largest media companies, now headquartered in the Time Warner Center in New York City. Lorimar's distribution business was folded into Warner Bros. Television Distribution and became Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.

In 2014, Mark Rich, who was the grandson of founder Lee Rich, decided to resurrect Lorimar Television. With help from the grandchildren of the company's founders, Lorimar made it's relaunch with their first production, a made-for-TV movie for DuMont Television, a remake of the 1970's movie, But I don't Want to Get Married! After that Lorimar started acquiring television stations while making television series left and right.
