ABC Kids is the brand for children's programming on ABC TV and ABC2, While the ABC Kids Channel was a Digital TV channel in Australia run by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

ABC Kids is the name given to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's children's programming. Its use began as a replacement for the previously aired "ABC for Kids" branding used on ABC TV and ABC Online in around the year 2000.

On March 7 2005, a new channel ABC2, launched, and allowed for ABC Kids' programming to be broadcasted for 13 hours a day across ABC TV and ABC2.
