CBS Productions was the production arm of the CBS television network, formed in 1952 to produce shows in-house, instead of relying solely on outside productions. Its first production was "CBS Television Workshop", a drama anthology series. It featured an early appearance of Audrey Hepburn.

Later productions of note included "Perry Mason", "The Twilight Zone", "Gunsmoke", "The Wild Wild West", "Hawaii Five-O", "Touched by an Angel", "The King of Queens", the "CSI" franchise and "90210".

In 2006, it was merged with Paramount Television to form CBS Paramount Television, whose main production division, CBS Paramount Network Television, continues to produce the former CBS Productions shows that are still running.Later in 2006 CBS Productions along with CBS Paramount Television and King World was folded into CBS Television Distribution.

In 2008, after became defunct in 2006, the CBS Productions name was re-activated to continue producing new episodes of "90210" on The CW. "90210" was the first series produced by the resurrected CBS Productions name.
