'''AT&T Inc.''' (sommetider stylet '''at&t'''; {{Nyse|T}}, for "telefon") er en [[USA|amerikansk]] multinational telekommunikationsvirksomhed med hovedsæde i [[Whitacre Tower]], [[Dallas]], [[Texas]]. Det er USAs og verdens største teleselskab med en omsætning på US$ 127 mia. i 2011 og 256.440 ansatte. Det er desuden den næststørste mobiltelefoniudbyder i USA. Endvidere er AT&T den syvendestørste virksomhed i USA på tværs af brancher.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/states/TX.html |title=Fortune 500 2010: States: Texas Companies - FORTUNE on CNNMoney.com |publisher=Money |date=3. maj 2010 |accessdateaccess-date=14. august 2010 |archiveurlarchive-date= 7. august 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100807051708/http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/states/TX.html |archivedate= 7. august 2010 |deadurlurl-status=yeslive }}</ref>
 
Virksomheden begyndte som '''Southwestern Bell Corporation''', et af syv regionale teleselskaber der blev skabt i 1983, som et led i karteldommen mod det oprindelige AT&T Corporation. I 1995 skiftede virksomheden navn til '''SBC Communications Inc.'''. I 2005 opkøbes det oprindelige moderselskab [[AT&T Corporation]] (der oprindeligt var kendt som American Telephone and Telegraph Company), og overtog dets brand. De fusionerede selskab fik navnet ''AT&T Inc.'' og benyttede det ikoniske AT&T logo og aktiehandelssymbol.
 
De nuværende AT&T består af en stor del af det tidligere Bell System og inkluderer 10 af 22 originale Bell-selskaber, desuden det delvist ejede ([[Southern New England Telephone]]) og den oprindelige [[AT&T Communications|udlandstelefoni-division]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Kleinfield |first=Sonny |title=The biggest company on earth: a profile of AT&T |url=https://archive.org/details/biggestcompanyon00klei |publisher=Holt, Rinehart, and Winston |location=New York |year=1981 |isbn=978-0-03-045326-7 |oclc= }}</ref>

31. januar 2005 bekendtgør SBC at de vil opkøbe [[AT&T Corporation]] for mere end US$ 16 mia. Offentliggørelsen kommer næsten otte år efter at SBC og AT&T (originally known as the American Telephone and Telegraph Company) called droppede deres første fusionsplaner. AT&Ts aktionærer mødtes i Denver og godkendte sammenlægningen den 31. juni 2005. [[U.S. Department of Justice]] godkendte fusionen 27. oktober 2005 og [[Federal Communications Commission]] godkendte opkøbet 31. oktober 2005.
 
Sammenlægningen var endegyldigt en realitet 18. november 2005.<ref>{{cite press release |title=New AT&T Launches |publisher=AT&T |date=18. november 2005 |url=http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=21906 |accessdateaccess-date=29. september 2007 |archive-date=11. oktober 2007 |accessdate= 9. april 2012 |archivedate=11. oktober 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011073853/http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=21906 |archivedate=11. oktober 2007 |deadurl=no }}</ref> Efter sammenlægningen overtog SBC Communications AT&T's brand og skiftede virksomhedens navn til '''AT&T Inc.''' for at differentiere i forhold til det tidligere AT&T Corporation.
