CNN This Morning is an American morning show that aired on CNN from November 1, 2022, to February 23, 2024. Succeeding New Day as CNN's morning show, the program was established as part of programming changes led by new CNN head Chris Licht. For contractual reasons, the program also aired in simulcast on HLN, replacing that network's long-time morning show Morning Express with Robin Meade.

It was initially hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlan Collins from CNN's studios in New York City. Turnover began in April 2023 with the firing of Lemon from the network, and Collins departing in May 2023 to host the new CNN primetime show The Source. Their positions were filled by a rotating co-anchor until August 2023, when former CNN White House correspondent Phil Mattingly was named Harlow's permanent co-anchor.

In February 2024, new CNN CEO Mark Thompson announced that CNN This Morning would be cancelled, and replaced in its timeslot by CNN News Central. The program aired its final episode on February 23, 2024.

CNN continues to air early-morning programming under the CNN This Morning branding; on February 26, 2024, its former lead-in Early Start—anchored from Washington, D.C. by Kasie Hunt—was rebranded as CNN This Morning. CNN also continues to air a weekend morning show under the title, CNN This Morning Weekend, which is anchored by Victor Blackwell and Amara Walker from Atlanta.^[1]
