CableOne is a United States cable service provider and subsidiary of The Washington Post Company, functioning as it own self-contained corporation within its parent. The company's name and current focus dates back to 1997, prior to that time the company was known as Post-Newsweek Cable.

CableOne provides cable service mostly to small rural communities in nineteen states in the midwestern, southern, and western US. As of July 2004, about 720,000 subscribers receive basic service and about 300,000 receive premium programming. The company offers digital cable and its broadband Internet unit, known as CableONE.net, has over 250,000 subscribers.

CableOne has swapped its California cable systems and customers with operations in Oregon and Utah belonging to the main US cable operator Comcast. Just recently, it acquired holdings in Idaho and Washington due to Comcast's acquisition of those same holdings from AT&T Broadband.
