Connect with Mark Kelley was a Canadian news talk show, which aired from 2009 to 2012 on CBC News Network. Hosted by Mark Kelley, the show originally aired lived from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. eastern time on weeknights, and then was shortened to an 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. air time, after the creation of The Lang and O'Leary Exchange. The show's team also included , Jennifer Hollett and Nick Purdon.

Several months before the first airing, Mark Kelley pitched to his executives the concept of a "highly interactive nightly news show" which would use new media technologies.[1] The show debuted on October 26, 2009.

The show ended on June 22, 2012 due to budget cuts resulting from the 2012 Canadian federal budget.[2] Kelley went on to join the CBC's weekly newsmagazine series the fifth estate.[3]
