The Rogers Campus, located in Toronto, Ontario, is the corporate head office of Canadian media conglomerate Rogers Communications, as well as the home of most, but not all, of the company's Toronto operations.

Located at 777 Jarvis Street, the campus occupies almost all of the block bounded by Jarvis, Bloor, Huntley and Isabella Streets. Mount Pleasant Road divides the northwest corner of the block from the remainder of the site, but Rogers occupies separate buildings on both sides of Mount Pleasant which are connected by above-ground walkways.

The company's cable television and magazine publishing operations, as well as its local radio stations, operate from the campus. Rogers Sportsnet, which formerly shared facilities with TSN in Agincourt, is also currently moving to the campus.

Rogers' OMNI Television stations in the city, however, are based at the separate CFMT Building near Toronto's waterfront, as are The Biography Channel Canada and G4techTV Canada. Citytv, which will become a Rogers property in October of 2007, is temporarily based at CTVglobemedia's CHUM-City Building on Queen Street West. A new location for the station has not yet been announced.

Rogers acquired various parts of the block over time as expansion of the facility was planned and executed. Part of the facility's parking garage now occupies the location once used by the original studios of 100 Huntley Street.
