The Thessaloniki International Trade Fair (abbreviated TIF; in Hellenic: Διεθνής Έκθεση Θεσσαλονίκης, abbreviated ΔΕΘ; in transliteration/Greeklish: Diethnis Ekthesi Thessalonikis, DETH) is an annual commercial exhibition event of much importance in Greece and Southeastern Europe taking place in Thessaloniki, Greece and is organised by HELEXPO. The fair was first held in 1926.

It has been customary for the country's Prime Minister to set out his government's policies for each coming year in a speech at the annual Thessaloniki International Trade Fair, and for this reason the event has political significance in addition to its commercial importance.

The 73rd TIF took place between 6 and 14 September 2008.
