Soapnet was an American basic cable network owned by the Disney–ABC Television Group division of The Walt Disney Company.

The network's programming was oriented towards the soap opera genre; at its launch, Soapnet carried primetime encores of ABC's current soaps, as well as reruns of classic daytime and primetime soap opera series. Soapnet also broadcast programming related to soap operas, including news and behind-the-scenes programs. In later years, Soapnet increased its focus on acquired reruns of drama series.
