Disney Channel is a Latin American pay television network broadcasting throughout Hispanic America. It is based on the eponymous television channel in the United States launched on July 27, 2000 as a premium-label channel, and became a basic pay TV network in 2004.

It is available using two different feeds, with various programming schedules and timings. It is mostly marketed to children; however, in recent years the range of viewers has expanded to include an older audience. Disney Channel is operated by Disney Media Networks Latin America and owned by The Walt Disney Company Latin America, both of which are originally from The Walt Disney Company.
