Talentvision (城市電視, Mandarin: chéng shì dìan shì) is a Canadian Mandarin language cable television specialty channel. It is owned by the Vancouver based Fairchild Media Group (a subsidiary of the Fairchild Group), and has studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Talentvision features programming from Mainland China as well as Taiwan. It also has a Korean and Vietnamese block of programming. Originally it was a regional network only available in British Columbia, Calgary, and Edmonton but it is now available nationally across Canada.

Talentvision is the first Mandarin Chinese channel in Canada and it first went on the air in 1993 (together with Fairchild Television). It started out as a channel that was mainly Cantonese. Initially, its broadcasting content was 60% Cantonese and 40% Mandarin. It started broadcasting entirely in Mandarin from June 1998 onwards. All Cantonese programs were transferred to Fairchild Television.
