The circuit for the digital filtering of IF intermediate frequency video signals comprises an A/D (analog/digital) converter and a Nyquist filter (N); an analog prefilter, suitable for selecting the desired channel, is placed upstream of the A/D converter. The Nyquist filter (N) is a digital filter placed downstream of the A/D converter, composed of two IIR filters (15, 16) placed in cascade, one (16) of these IIR filters being produced in non-causal form with spectrum conjugate to the other IIR filter (15) produced in causal form, and of an FIR filter (17) in series, for correcting the IIR filters.
