FOX Classics is an Australian cable and satellite channel that specializes in showing classic movies and television series from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, although 1990s series Everybody Loves Raymond and Spin City were recently added to the line-up.

Fox Classics originally began as a night shift for the Fox Kids channel in Australia, when Fox Kids ended at a specific time (late afternoon for the most part), Fox classics began. It was essentially, just classic movies, hosted by Bill Collins, who would give background information and trivia about the movie to the audience, before and after the movie. After Fox Kids ended, Fox classics took over the whole channel.
