CFVO-TV (channel 30) was a television station in Hull, Quebec, Canada (now Gatineau). It launched on September 1, 1974, under the ownership of the Coopérative de Télévision de l'Outaouais (Outaouais Television Cooperative, CTVO). The station aired mostly TVA network programming with various local shows; it was the first private French-language TV station in the Ottawa–Hull area and the first cooperatively owned television station in Canada.

Constantly dogged by financial trouble, the station went bankrupt and ceased broadcasting on March 30, 1977. The channel 30 equipment was bought from bankruptcy by Radio-Québec (now Télé-Québec) and used to start CIVO-TV, the network's Outaouais transmitter; the CRTC awarded a new commercial station for the area in 1978, which became CHOT-TV (channel 40).
