Cartoon Network Studios is an American animation studio. A subsidiary of the Turner Broadcasting System arm of the Time Warner media conglomerate, Cartoon Network Studios focuses on producing and developing animated programs for and related to Cartoon Network. Some programming produced by Cartoon Network Studios has also been broadcast, if only for a short time, on Kids' WB, Cartoon Network's sister network.

The studio began after the Turner Entertainment-Hanna-Barbera merger in 1994 as a subsidiary of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons which was dedicated to producing original programming for the Cartoon Network, including latter-day Hanna-Barbera creations such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls. In 1997, the company's productions were released under of the banner of its then-parent company Hanna-Barbera.

After H-B co-founder William Hanna died in 2001, the Hanna-Barbera name was dropped as a production entity and the H-B studio was folded into Warner Bros. Animation, and Cartoon Network Studios was revived as a separate entity from Hanna-Barbera. The studio has continued to thrive with productions such as The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Samurai Jack and newer productions such as Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Ben 10: Alien Force.
