CKIN-FM (106.3 FM, "Radio CINA Montréal 106.3") is a radio station in Montreal, Quebec. Owned by Neeti P. Ray, the station broadcasts a multilingual format. The station primarily broadcasts in Arabic, with evening blocks carrying programming in Spanish, and hour-long blocks with programming in Assyrian, Berber, Cantonese, Italian, Hindi and Urdu. Its headquarters are at 1955 Côte-de-Liesse, Saint Laurent, with its transmitter located atop Mount Royal.

The station was originally established in 2010 by Canadian Hellenic Cable Radio (CHCR) as a sister station to CKDG-FM; it mirrored CKDG's format of carrying mainstream music programming during peak times (presented in French), and multicultural programming in the rest of the day. In 2015, the station was sold to Neeti P. Ray, after which the station revamped its schedule to focus primarily on Arabic programming.
