The Public Eye is a Canadian public affairs television series which aired on CBC Television from 1965 to 1969.

This journalistic series covered various subjects of global and domestic scope.

Some 1966 episodes were co-produced with CBC's Newsmagazine series and identified as This Week. Its 1966 production budget was approximately $18,000 per episode.

A June 1966 episode featured the conflict between Canadian leaders Lester B. Pearson and John Diefenbaker, noting how their adversarial relationship concealed more fundamental national concerns.

After a popular series of "town meeting" segments in the 1967-68 season, a studio audience was introduced as a regular feature of the following, final season. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau appeared in a later episode.
