Telemundo Kids (borrowing its name from Telemundo's 1995– 1998 Saturday morning block Telemundo Infantil) is a former American children's programming block that debuted on October 6, 2001 on the Spanish-language television network Telemundo.[2][3] The three-hour block—which aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and Pacific Time—featured live action and animated series aimed at children between the ages of 2 and 14.

Programs featured on the block consisted of a mixture of series originally produced in Spanish and dubbed versions of series that were originally produced and broadcast in English. All shows featured on Telemundo Kids were designed to meet federally mandated educational programming guidelines defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) via the Children's Television Act. Telemundo Kids aired for the final time on September 3, 2006. The following week, the block's direct successor Qubo on Telemundo debuted.
