CNN This Morning is an American morning show that formerly aired on CNN. The program first aired on November 1, 2022 succeeding New Day as CNN's morning show. The program was established as part of programming changes led by short-lived CNN president Chris Licht. For contractual reasons, the program also aired in simulcast on HLN, replacing that network's long-time morning show Morning Express with Robin Meade.

It was initially hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlan Collins from CNN's New York City studios. Turnover began in April 2023 with the firing of Lemon from the network, and Collins departing in May 2023 to host the new CNN primetime show The Source. Their positions were filled by a rotating co-anchor until August 2023, when former CNN White House correspondent Phil Mattingly was named Harlow's permanent co-anchor.

In February 2024, new CNN CEO Mark Thompson announced that CNN This Morning would be cancelled; its final episode aired on February 23, 2024, and the daytime edition of CNN News Central would be moved up into its former timeslot beginning February 26. The CNN This Morning branding would be concurrently relocated to CNN's early-morning newscast Early Start. CNN's weekend morning show (which was held over from New Day) also continues to carry the CNN This Morning branding,
