CBG is a radio station broadcasting at 1400 kHz (AM) from Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and is the local Radio One station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The station was launched in the 1940s as VORG, owned and operated by the local military base. Following World War II, it was acquired by the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland, the pre-Confederation public broadcaster. On March 31, 1949, BCN was absorbed by the CBC when Newfoundland joined Canada, and the station adopted its current callsign.

CBG and CBT in Grand Falls-Windsor produces its own local morning show, The Central Morning Show with hosts Mike Aucoin and Randy Larcombe. The station otherwise broadcasts programming from CBN in St. John's during the network's local programming blocks.
