The discovery of jets from tidal disruption events (TDEs) rejuvenated the old
field of relativistic jets powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes.
In this Chapter, we first review the extensive multi-wavelength observations of
jetted TDEs. Then, we show that these events provide valuable information on
many aspects of jet physics from a new prospective, including the on-and-off
switch of jet launching, jet propagation through the ambient medium,
$gamma/$X-ray radiation mechanism, jet composition, and the multi-messenger
picture. Finally, open questions and future prospects in this field are
summarized.
