Shaw PPV was a Canadian English and French language pay-per-view service owned by Shaw Pay-Per-View Limited, a division of Shaw Communications. Shaw PPV was carried by Shaw Direct, Shaw Cable, and some other providers, mainly (but not exclusively) in Western Canada.

As the service was carried by a number of cable operators unaffiliated with Shaw, the service uses generic "PPV" branding and avoids references to its ownership on the service itself; however some print and Web advertising for PPV programming on Shaw's cable and satellite services does use the name "Shaw Pay Per View". The French-language channels use the brand TALC (télé à la carte, or "TV by order").
