Canada Atlantic Railway Company was a Canadian railway company which operated from 1879 to 1914.

Founded in 1879 with the amalgamation of the Coteau and Province Line Railway and Bridge Company and the Montreal and City of Ottawa Junction Railway, it amalgamated with the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway in 1899. It bought the Pembroke Southern Railway Company in 1906 and the Ottawa Terminal Railway Company in 1907. It merged with the Grand Trunk Railway Company in 1914.

It was sometimes known as the "Booth Group" since it was mostly owned by John Rudolphus Booth.
