Ciné+ OCS is a group of French thematic pay television networks operated by Canal+ Thématiques, and distributed by Canal+ on satellite TV, cable, and IPTV.

Launched in 1991, the channels were originally only dedicated to films, with the exception of Ciné+ Frisson which broadcast two television series from 2012 to 2017. Since 3 July 2024, following a merge with OCS, it is now also dedicated to television series.

The channels broadcast all foreign films and series in their original language on a secondary audio channel with two subtitling tracks in French, one for translation from a foreign language and the other for the hearing impaired.

In Belgium, Ciné+ became Ciné+ OCS later on 1 October 2024, where it only operates the 3 channels OCS, Ciné+ Frisson and Ciné+ Classic as part of the BeTV bouquet.
