CHML (900 AM) was a commercial radio station in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, owned by Corus Entertainment. The station's long-time slogan was "Hometown Radio".[1] It went off the air on August 14, 2024 at 1 p.m., shortly after Corus announced that the station would be closing.

Its power was 50,000 watts, the maximum for Canadian AM stations. It had a directional antenna with an eight-tower array. Its signal was oriented largely west-northwest to east-southeast, covering the Niagara Peninsula and Western New York. The transmitter was located between Peter's Corners and Cambridge. Its studios were located on Main Street West (next to Highway 403) in Hamilton's Westdale neighbourhood. The station last aired a news/talk format branded as 900 CHML.
