A teen idol is a celebrity who is widely idolized by teenagers; he or she is often young but not necessarily teenaged. Often teen idols are actors or pop singers, but some sports figures have an appeal to teenagers. Some teen idols are child actors. The idol's popularity may be limited to teens, or may extend to all age groups.

The teen idol is primarily a phenomenon of 20th century mass communication. Its first manifestation may have been Rudolph Valentino, whose good looks and winning way with women featured heavily in such silent films as The Sheik. Valentino was so popular with young women; many of them went into mass hysteria after he died at the age of 31 in 1926. Elvis Presley was one of the most popular American singers in the 1950s. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".

Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy held the title of Teen Idols from the late 1960s till the mid 1970s. Both Sherman and Cassidy were actors on television and musicians in the pop-rock category at the time.

The Walt Disney Company and its numerous outlets (e.g. Disney Channel, Radio Disney and Walt Disney Pictures) have successfully developed a new generation of teen idols. In the early 2000s, the company developed the careers of Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, initially targeting youth and female teen audiences. The success of this marketing led to further development of the genre, including new teen idols such as Zac Efron, the Jonas Brothers, Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.

The 2000s have also seen many new teen idols emerge from popular feature films such as the casts of the Harry Potter and Twilight film franchises; television series such as Glee have also developed stars who are popular among younger viewers. Since their rise to fame in recent years, singers Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have become recent examples of modern-day teen idols who have achieved international success, known for their devoted teen and tween fan base.
