Citytv (known simply as City from 2012 to 2018) is a network of seven English language television stations in Canada owned by Rogers Communications, along with four independently-owned affiliates.

The network-owned stations (CITY in Toronto, CJNT in Montreal, CKVU in Vancouver, CHMI in Winnipeg, CKAL in Calgary, CKEM in Edmonton and Citytv Saskatchewan in Regina) and the independent affiliates had previously been treated as a system of independent stations which share common branding and programming (outside of locally-produced shows) and not as a television network, but this has since changed with the network's acquisition by Rogers and its subsequent expansion into Saskatchewan and Quebec.

Moses Znaimer, head of Citytv for many years, once described the system's philosophy by saying, "It's not the show, it's the flow."
