The Lang and O'Leary Exchange is a Canada business news television series, which airs weekdays on CBC Television and CBC News Network. Hosted by CBC's senior business correspondent Amanda Lang and entrepreneur/investor Kevin O'Leary, the series presents a summary of the day's major business stories in a manner similar to Lang and O'Leary's earlier Business News Network series SqueezePlay.

The remaining segments consist of various interviews and roundtables with businesspeople, economists, journalists and other newsmakers, handled by either Lang alone or both Lang and O'Leary.
The show originally aired as a half-hour daily series, starting at 4:30 p.m. Eastern. As of March 1,
