The Source (Bell) Electronics Inc., doing business as The Source (French: La Source), was a Canadian consumer electronics and cell phone retail chain. The chain has been present for more than 50 years in Canada, initially as Radio Shack and later as The Source by Circuit City. The Source was owned by BCE Inc., which purchased the assets of InterTAN from its parent, American retailer Circuit City, in 2009. The chain was based in Barrie, Ontario.

In early 2024, BCE announced it would wind down The Source's operations as an independent chain, with approximately one-third of locations closing outright, and others transitioned to a brand licensing partnership with erstwhile competitor Best Buy under the Best Buy Express banner, by the end of the year. BCE will continue to own, operate, and staff the locations, and they will continue to exclusively offer telecommunications services from BCE's subsidiaries including Bell Canada, but after rebranding they will receive product inventory through Best Buy, and offer services such as Geek Squad and in-store pickup and returns for Best Buy online orders.
