Qubo (/ˈkjb/ KYEW-boh; stylized in all lowercase) was an American television brand for children between the ages of 5 and 14. Owned by Ion Media, and previously a joint venture that also included NBCUniversal, Corus Entertainment, Scholastic Corporation, and DreamWorks Classics, the brand consisted of a 24-hour free-to-air television network often referred to as Qubo Channel (available as a digital terrestrial television service on owned-and-operated stations and some affiliates of corporate sister Ion Television, as well as on some pay television providers), an associated website with games and programs available through video on demand, and a series of programming blocks on Ion Television, Ion Plus, NBC and Telemundo.

Following Ion Media's acquisition by the E. W. Scripps Company, Qubo Channel closed on February 28, 2021.
