Cartoon Network is a defunct Spanish television channel. Besides being available in Spanish, most of the shows were also available in English by selecting the secondary audio feed. The Spanish dubs broadcast on Cartoon Network Spain are different from the dubs used in Latin America.

Turner Broadcasting System closed down the channel on all platforms, along with its pre-school channel Cartoonito, on 1 July 2013, with many of their shows moved to Boing, a children's TV channel in Spain, owned by Turner Broadcasting.[3] The Portuguese version of the channel was created from the licence of the Spanish version.
