Corus Entertainment Inc. (often simply known as Corus) is a Canadian mass media and television production company. The company was founded in 1987 as Shaw Radio Ltd. as a subsidiary of Shaw Communications and was spun-off from Shaw in 1999. It has prominent holdings in the radio, publishing, and television industries. Corus is headquartered at Corus Quay in Toronto, Ontario.

Corus has a large presence in Canadian broadcasting as owner of the national Global network (15 conventional stations), 37 radio stations, and a portfolio of 30 specialty television services; the company's domestic specialty brands includes Flavour Network, Home Network, Showcase, SériesPlus, Slice, Télétoon, W Network, and YTV. It also operates services under brand licensing agreements with A&E Networks (History and Lifetime), Paramount Global (CMT and Nickelodeon), The Walt Disney Company (Disney Channel, Freeform via ABC Spark, and National Geographic), and Warner Bros. Discovery (Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and Adult Swim, the broadcaster previously held the rights to WBD's lifestyle and factual networks until later 2024/early 2025 when rival Rogers Sports & Media took over).

Corus owns the animation studio Nelvana, and children's publisher Kids Can Press. The second incarnation of Shaw's media division—formed from the properties of the bankrupt Canwest Global—was subsumed by Corus on April 1, 2016, giving it control of the over-the-air Global network and 19 additional specialty channels. In May 2019, Shaw announced that it would sell its shares in Corus for roughly $500 million.
