Jeunesse d'aujourd'hui is a Canadian French-language music variety show that aired in first-run syndication until 1971, then on TVA until the end of its run.

Produced at the studios of CFTM-TV in Montreal in front of packed audiences, popular francophone pop music acts such as Renée Martel, Michèle Richard (who also served as a co-host on the show for a season), Shirley Théroux, Jenny Rock, Les Classels, Donald Lautrec, Claire Lepage, bilingual British singer Petula Clark and series co-host Pierre Lalonde appeared on this series to lip-sync their latest hits. Another notable feature of the show was a group of energetic go-go dancing girls who performed behind the musical acts during their numbers. The popularity of Jeunesse d'aujourd'hui during its run was such that fans of the show often had to be turned away from the studio due to it reaching full capacity.
