CityMusic Cleveland is an American chamber orchestra based in Cleveland, Ohio. It was founded in the summer of 2004 to give free concerts throughout the Northeast Ohio area. Composed of professional free-lance musicians from the Cleveland area and beyond, the orchestra partners with community leaders, mayors, council members, and local civic organizations, to expand the audience for cultural events. Concerts are accompanied by art exhibits, featuring local and regional artists.

The orchestra's membership ranges between 29 and 35 performers. James Gaffigan was appointed the orchestra's music director in July 2005.

CityMusic Cleveland has been reviewed and/or featured in The Plain Dealer, Gramophone, Northern Ohio Live, and the Continental Airlines magazine, among other publications.
