CJSS is a now-defunct television station in Cornwall, Ontario.

The station originally signed on as a CBC Television affiliate on October 18, 1959, owned by Stanley Shankman. Shankman also acquired the radio stations CKSF and CKSF-FM, which both adopted the CJSS call sign as well.

In 1963, CJSS was acquired by Ernie Bushnell and converted into a rebroadcaster of Ottawa's CTV affiliate CJOH (CJOH-8, Channel 8 for Cornwall), making CJSS the first TV station in Canada ever to cease operations. The radio stations (CJSS-AM and CJSS-FM) were sold to a local family, and are both still in operation. One of the two, in fact, still uses the CJSS call sign as of 2006.
