CJPX-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Radio-Classique Montréal, an independent company 90% owned by Jean-Pierre Coallier, it broadcasts on 99.5 MHz using an omnidirectional antenna with an effective radiated power of 8,700 watts (class B).

The station has had a classical music format since its inception on June 25, 1998 and identifies itself as "Radio-Classique Montréal CJPX 99,5 FM".^[1] The station is the first successful commercial classical music station in Montreal, following the failure of CJRM-FM in 1968^[2] and decades of reluctance since then by the CRTC to allow such a station to go on the air.^[3]

CJPX's main studios are located in Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence River. It also has a secondary studio off the lobby at Place des Arts, in downtown Montreal.
