Bio (stylised as bio., formerly The Biography Channel) was an Australian general entertainment channel available on Australia's Foxtel, Austar and Optus Television pay television services.

In 2014, the channel rebranded with a new on-air look, logo and programming.[1] In addition, the channel moved from channel 117 to channel 133.[2]

On 1 November 2015, the channel closed, ceasing transmission at 4 am, with selected titles moving to other Foxtel-owned channels.[3]
