The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies (known as The New CBS Friday Night Movies in its first season) was a weekly 90 minute television movie series seen on CBS from 1971 to 1974. During its first two seasons, the program was similar to ABC's Movie of the Week, in which it presented a new television movie once a week. In the fall of 1972, the series moved from Friday nights to Tuesdays, with its Friday night slot given back to traditional theatrical films under The CBS Friday Night Movies banner. (The New CBS Friday Night Movies replaced The CBS Friday Night Movies during its first season.)

The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies was cancelled after the 1973-1974 television season. Television films seen on CBS would be incorporated into its Thursday and Friday night movie programs, beginning with the 1974-1975 season.
