Canvas is a Belgian television channel of the Flemish public broadcasting organisation Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT). Specialising in both original and adaptations from western Europe and North America, the channel offers: in-depth news and current affairs, non-mainstream entertainment, documentaries, arthouse films, other cultural programming, and most recently additional children's programming.

The channel, launched in December 1997, is part of VRT's second network (VRT 2), which also carries occasional sports programming under the Sporza branding. The current network director of VRT 2 is Bart De Poot. Until 2012, Canvas timeshared with the children's channel Ketnet between 7 am and 8 pm; Ketnet has thus moved to its own channel and Canvas became a standalone channel.

Prior to the launch of OP12, Canvas broadcast from 8pm until around midnight to 1 am each evening. Since October 27, 2018, Ketnet Junior airs on Canvas every afternoon between 2 and 7 pm (Sunday until 6 pm), along with morning broadcasts on Ketnet.
