Boomerang is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. It is a licensed version of the U.S. channel of the same name, which primarily broadcasts animated programming from the Warner Bros. Animation library, including Warner Bros. Cartoons and Hanna-Barbera productions among others, as well as contemporary reboots of classic franchises. The channel also occasionally broadcasts reruns of Cartoon Network original series.

The channel originally launched in 2012 as a Canadian version of Cartoon Network, serving as a sister channel to Teletoon. The service originally operated under a newly-issued category B license. In September 2015, sister network Teletoon Retro was discontinued, and Cartoon Network transitioned to broadcasting under the auspices of that channel's license instead, inheriting its wider carriage on providers such as Rogers Cable and Shaw.

Cartoon Network previously operated a Canadian version of Adult Swim until 2019, when it (and its Teletoon counterpart Teletoon at Night) was spun off as a sister channel.

In February 2023, Corus announced that the Cartoon Network branding would be moved to Teletoon on March 27, 2023, with the existing Cartoon Network channel relaunching as a Canadian version of Boomerang the same day.
