Iceberg Radio is a Canadian Internet radio service, which provides more than 100 channels of streaming audio. Founded in 1997 by the late John Walters and DJ Hedley Jones as the Virtual Canadian Broadcast Network, it was one of the first major ventures into large-scale Internet audio broadcasting. In 1999, it became Iceberg Media.com Inc.

The service is currently owned and operated by Slaight Communications' Standard Interactive subsidiary. It is one of two properties, along with an interest in Sirius Canada, to remain under the company's ownership, following the October 2007 sale of its radio and television stations to Astral Media.

Slaight also programs an adult album alternative channel on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 85, branded as Iceberg 85. The channel originally aired on Sirius 95, but moved to 85 in early June 2008.
