VH1 Latin America is a music channel from Viacom-owned MTV Networks Latin America. The network was launched in April 2004 exclusively on Cablevisión D.F. in México, and in the rest of the region some months later. The channel targets 25–44-year-olds and plays local and international music videos from the 1970s to the 2000s. It also airs famous countdowns from VH1 USA.

It reaches almost all satellite and cable systems in Latin America, except of Chile. On January 29 of 2007, there was some controversy in that country because the major cable-operator there, VTR, added the network in a "double" channel that shared space with GolTV. During the day there was GolTV, and during the night VH1. This caused anger among almost all of their subscribers, and this anger only grew when they added FX on May in the same channel, making VH1 available only after midnight. In August, the channel was eliminated without any reason given.

VH1 Soul, a network from MTV Networks USA, is also available in the region.
