Télétoon (stylized as TĒLĒTOON) is a Canadian French-language specialty channel owned by Teletoon Canada, Inc., a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment. Its name is a portmanteau of "télévision" and "cartoon". As of 2013, it is available in over 7.3 million Canadian households. Until March 2023, the channel had an English-language counterpart named Teletoon, which has since been rebranded as Cartoon Network, although Télétoon remains its French-language counterpart.

It was licensed in 1996 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The French-language channel was the first to be launched, on September 8, 1997. It used the slogan La station de l'animation ('The Animation Station', the same as that of the contemporaneous English-language channel), and later added and then switched to Imagine!.
When Télétoon was launched in 1997, it showed more mature fare as the day progressed, with a strong commitment to air diverse and international programming, and the ability to air a great majority of material uncut. Initially, while the channel was still officially called Télétoon, its logos did not have the diacritics and were the exact same as the English-language ones, from launch until 2014.

In 2014, Télétoon was given a new logo to better distinguish itself from its English counterpart. The logo now includes accents on all occurrences of the letter "e" in the name.
