CJET is a Canadian radio station. Licensed to Smiths Falls, Ontario, the station serves the larger metropolitan Ottawa market. CJET broadcasts at 92.3 FM, programming an adult hits format with the brand name Jack FM.

The station was launched in 1955 by Rideau Broadcasting, at 1070 AM. In 1958, the station's frequency changed to 630.

In 1969, the original CJET-FM was also launched. That station now uses the callsign CKBY.

In 1984, the AM and FM stations were sold to Harvey Glatt's CHEZ-FM Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Rogers Communications, the stations' current owner, in 1999. Rogers converted CJET to FM the following year, and the station adopted the Jack FM branding in 2004.

Ryan Spence, host of Ask the Experts and producer of the morning drive show on CJBK in London, started his career at CJET operating overnight religious programming.
