Cartoon Network Studios is an American animation studio owned by the Warner Bros. Television Studios division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. The studio is the production arm of Cartoon Network, and was founded on October 21, 1994, as a division of Hanna-Barbera, until the latter was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation on March 12, 2001.

The studio primarily produces and develops animated programs and shorts for Cartoon Network and Cartoonito, and has also developed properties for Adult Swim and Max. The studio has produced dozens of shows, including Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls (and its film adaptation), Johnny Bravo, Time Squad, Samurai Jack, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, Ben 10, Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Adventure Time, Generator Rex, Regular Show, Sym-Bionic Titan, Uncle Grandpa, Steven Universe, Clarence, We Bare Bears, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, and Infinity Train.

In 2000, the network purchased a large building in Burbank, California to serve as its headquarters. Cartoon Network Studios operated in these facilities for over twenty years, and also expanded into other buildings as well. In the 2020s, after multiple corporate mergers, the studio was consolidated into Warner Bros. Animation, and continued to operate as a separate division, although it was relocated to Second Century Development as the company's new headquarters on August 1, 2023.
