Comedy Gold, formerly known as TV Land Canada was a Canadian English language specialty channel that was owned by Bell Media focused on sitcoms and sketch comedy programs from the 1970s to 1990s.

The channel was originally launched in 2001 as a Canadian version of the U.S. channel TV Land by Craig Media and Viacom (currently known as "Paramount"). Craig's interest was acquired by CHUM Limited, the owner of the Citytv system in 2004 upon the acquisition of its assets. In the years following the acquisition of CHUM by CTVglobemedia and later Bell Media, TV Land Canada was renamed to Comedy Gold and became a sister network to The Comedy Network.

After the sale to WOW Unlimited and aborted attempt for relaunch, Comedy Gold ceased operations in 2019.
