Time Will Tell is an early American game show which aired on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network Fridays at 10:30pm ET from August 27 to October 15, 1954. The show's host, Ernie Kovacs, would go on to host many other shows on both DuMont, ABC, and NBC.

Game play involved three contestants answering questions in 90-second rounds, timed with a large hourglass.

The program, produced and distributed by the network, aired on most DuMont affiliates on Fridays at 10:30 pm Eastern Time, replacing Gamble on Love which was also hosted by Kovacs in the same time slot. After Time Will Tell ended, DuMont replaced the series with local (non-network) programming. For DuMont, Kovacs also hosted the panel show One Minute Please (July 1954-February 1955) and the late-night talk show The Ernie Kovacs Show (April 1954-April 1955).

Time Will Tell is a 1970 album by Jamaican singer Millie (best known as the singer of the 1964 worldwide hit “ My Boy Lollipop”), reissued in 2004 on CD by Trojan Records with additional tracks.

Most of the original tracks are love songs, but the album also includes a cover version of Nick Drake's "Mayfair." Among the extra tracks are 1962-1963 ska duets with Roy Panton, duets with Jackie Edwards and solo tracks from the mid-1960s which have been described as being in more of a R&B style, and ska tracks from the later 1960s. The production was by Eddie Wolfram with the backing band of Symarip. Robert Kirby was credited for the instrumental arrangements.
