Venture is a weekly Canadian business television series that airs on the CBC. The show began in 1985 and focuses mostly on business documentaries, but also airs business-related news pieces. In the beginning, Venture was hosted by Patrick Watson, who previously hosted the controversial but wildly popular Sunday evening news program This Hour has Seven Days in the 1960s.

More recently, the program was hosted by Robert Scully. Its current host is Dianne Buckner.

One of Venture's more recent special features are documentary pieces called Back To The Floor, in which a chief executive officer is forced to work at an entry-level job within their own company for a day.
