Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids (commonly referred to as Nickelodeon GAS or Nick GAS), is a U.S. cable television network which was launched on March 1, 1999 as part of MTV Networks' suite of digital cable channels. Olympic swimmer and Figure It Out host Summer Sanders was named the Commissioner of Nick GAS. Dave Aizer, Mati Moralejo and Vivianne Collins were the network's original on-air hosts.

Nick GAS' programming primarily consists of children's game shows and sports-related programs from Nickelodeon, its parent network. These include Finders Keepers, Nickelodeon GUTS, Rocket Power, SK8-TV, Double Dare 2000 and Figure It Out. Recently, Nick GAS began producing its own original programming, including Gamefarm and Splash TV. Programs are usually grouped together in blocks such as "Family Fuel," "Extreme GAS" and "Pumping GAS."

In lieu of commercials, Nick GAS airs interstitial segments, some of which were produced at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida. The studio segments often include competitions between families, or interviews with athletes and other celebrities. Other interstitials include "Heroes of the Game," "GAS Grill," "Trade Tricks," "Time Out," "Skill Drill," and "MLS Play of the Week." Some look at Nick GAS as a children's version of Game Show Network.
