Family Chrgd (stylized as family CHRGD and pronounced Family Charged) is a Canadian English language specialty channel owned by WildBrain. Chrgd broadcasts live-action and animated children's programming aimed towards audiences ages 6–15.

The channel first launched on June 1, 2011, under the ownership of Astral Media as a localized version of Disney XD, serving as a sister network to Family Channel (which, at that time, held rights to the programming of Disney XD's parent network Disney Channel). Following the acquisition of Astral Media by Bell Media, Disney XD was divested to DHX Media. On October 9, 2015, as a result of Corus Entertainment's acquisition of Canadian rights to Disney's children's programming and associated brands (which resulted in the launch of a new channel under the Disney XD brand), the channel was re-launched as Family Chrgd.
