The CBC Documentary Unit was a division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from 2000 until 2015. The unit focused on documentary production, and was headed by executive producer Mark Starowicz.

Notable productions by the unit include:

In June 2014, CBC announced it would close the in-house Documentary Unit, with the last production scheduled for broadcast in the spring of 2015.[1] The decision sparked backlash from several prominent CBC journalists and other Canadian television and radio personalities.[2] In July 2015, executive producer Mark Starowicz announced his departure after overseeing documentary production since 1992.[3]
