Cartoon Network was a British-managed Spanish specialty television channel aimed at children, operated by Time Warner through its subsidiary Turner Broadcasting System España (TBS España). It was a localised version of the original namesake American channel. The channel's programmes were mostly consisted of original animated productions from Cartoon Network and fellow Time Warner company Warner Bros., but it also broadcast other American and international productions.

Besides being available in Castilian Spanish, most shows were also available in English, Catalan and Galician through a secondary audio feed. The channel along with Cartoonito closed in Spain on 30 June 2013, due to declining ratings and the pay TV crisis.
