Crave (originally CraveTV) is a Canadian subscription video on demand service owned by Bell Media. The service competes directly with other subscription-based over-the-top streaming services operating in Canada, primarily against American-based services.

The service features Bell Media original programming, other premium international programming, and various theatrically-released films. As of March 2024^[update], Crave's major programming suppliers are Warner Bros. Discovery (HBO / Max programming and Warner Bros. films), Sony Pictures (theatrical films from labels including Columbia), and Viaplay. Starz, offered in partnership with Lionsgate, is available as an add-on.

Launched in December 2014 as the low-cost streaming service CraveTV, by late 2018 the service had pivoted to focus on premium content, integrating its operations with The Movie Network (which became the Crave pay TV network), and later its French-language counterpart Super Écran. Crave is available either as an over-the-top subscription service, or through participating Canadian television service providers.
