CBFX-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.

Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French : Société Radio-Canada), it broadcasts on 100.7 MHz from the Mount Royal candelabra tower with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts (class C1) using an omnidirectional antenna. Its studios and master control are located at Maison Radio-Canada in Montreal.

The station has an ad-free music format featuring mostly classical music, jazz, world music and also other genres. It is the flagship of the "Espace musique" network (previously known, before September 2004, as "La Chaîne culturelle" when the format was more focused on classical music), which operates across Canada.

The station's call sign was CBF-FM until 1998, when it had to adopt a new call sign since the CBF-FM call sign started to be used by its sister station which had moved from AM to the FM band.
