CGTN Documentary (formerly CCTV-9 until 31 December 2016) is a television channel operated by Chinese state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) as a part of CGTN group of international channels, broadcasting documentaries in English language.

It used to share the "CCTV-9" name with its sister documentary channel in Mandarin Chinese. The channel has also been known to carry some Mandarin-language programmes with English subtitles; they broadcast new programming between 19:00 and 23:00 Beijing time, and repeat archival programming at other times.
