CISS is a Canadian radio station in Ottawa, Ontario. The station broadcasts a hot adult contemporary format at 105.3 on the FM dial, using the brand name 105.3 Kiss FM.

The station originally launched in 1972 with the call letters CKBY, playing a country music format.

On January 9, 2004, the station adopted its current format. A month later after the format changed, the station adopted its current calls. The CISS calls previously belonged to a Toronto radio station, also owned by Rogers, which now uses the call letters CJAQ. The CKBY calls, in turn, were moved to a third Rogers station, in Smiths Falls. Its playlist is very similar to that of CHUM-FM in Toronto.
