Discovery Familia (currently stylized as DFamilia) is an American satellite and cable television channel owned by Discovery Communications. It is an educational, family-oriented Spanish-language Cable channel. The network launched on August 9, 2007 and was given a new look in 2010.

The channel airs preschool-intended programming under the block Discovery Kids en Español (inspired by the Latin American 24/7 self-titled channel) between the hours of 6 am to 8 pm ET, with family-oriented adult programming (under the Discovery Familia block) airing at 8 pm to 6 am ET.

Part of the Discovery U.S. Hispanic portfolio of networks, Discovery Familia has been publicly measured by Nielsen since the start of Q3 2011 and outperformed with impressive growth and an enthusiastic audience reception. The network is now available at over 3 million Hispanic television households. It is currently the #1 Hispanic Pay TV channel from 6am–7pm among preschool kids 2–5 years old and #1 with K2–11 years old.
