Canal Vasco ("Basque channel" in Spanish) was the name that the Euskal Irrati Telebista group used to broadcast its international television channel, ETB Sat, via satellite and CATV operators in the Americas, until they were both merged into ETB Basque on 1 January 2021.

This channel brought Basque-language television and Basque culture to the large Basque community residing in the Americas, as well as other citizens of these areas. Its programming was based primarily on self-produced content from the domestic flagship channels ETB 1 and ETB 2.
