Food Network, formerly called Food Network Canada, is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel based on the U.S. cable network of the same name. It airs programming related to food, cooking, cuisine, and the food industry. The Canadian version of Food Network is a joint venture between Food Network Canada Inc. a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment and the U.S. network's parent company Television Food Network, G.P. (which is majority-owned by Warner Bros. Discovery).

Although the U.S. version of the channel became available in Canada from 1997, the channel went on the air on October 9, 2000 under the joint venture of Corus, Alliance Atlantis and E. W. Scripps Company. Through various ownership changes, Corus fully regained ownership of the channel in 2016.

Corus will lose the rights to the Food Network brand and its U.S. programming at the end of 2024, at which point the existing channel will rebrand as Flavour Network, retaining rights to its Canadian-produced series. A new, separate Food Network owned by Rogers Sports & Media will launch in Canada on January 1, 2025.
