Nelvana Limited is a Canadian entertainment company, founded in 1971, that is well-known for its work in children's animation, among many things. It was named by its founders—Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive A. Smith—after a Canadian comic book superheroine of the 1940s. Corus Entertainment, a spin-off from Shaw Communications, has owned the company since September 2000.

A leader in pan-American independent animation, Nelvana is one of the genre's most prominent enterprises outside the United States, and in the entire world. Most of its films, shows and specials are based on licensed properties, mainly children's literature. But, as with most companies of its kind, original programming is also part of its roster. In spite of its status as a cartoon company, it ventured into the world of live action from its establishement up until the late 1990s.

Well-known franchises from Nelvana include Care Bears, Babar, Little Bear, Eek! The Cat, Franklin and 6teen, along with the North American dubs of the anime series Beyblade, Cardcaptor Sakura and Medabots. It also distributes the Nicktoons, The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, outside the United States. As of , its library comprises of more than 1,650 cumulative half-hours of original programming.Fitzgerald, James (2001, May 1). "Nelvana's 30th Anniversary Profile". KidScreen Magazine.
