CBE is the callsign of the CBC Radio One station in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

CBE broadcasts at 1550 on the AM dial, and also reaches parts of Western Ontario via two relay transmitters located at Sarnia and Chatham. The station first aired in 1935 as AM 600 CRCW, which broadcast until 1938. CBE was subsequently relaunched in 1950 on its present frequency.

CBE's local programs are The Early Shift in the morning, and Crosstown in the afternoon. The CBC's website previously indicated that the relay transmitters in Chatham and Sarnia aired CBLA's Ontario Morning in place of The Early Shift, although it no longer does.
