Canadian Tuxedo is an American English slang term used to describe an outfit consisting of a denim ("jean") jacket and denim jeans. This outfit is sometimes worn with the addition of a button-down denim shirt. The phrase was popularized in the film Super Troopers by the character Rodney Farva referring to the character Captain John O'Hagan. In the commentary for Super Troopers, they reveal that when they heard of it first, it was originally a Syracuse Tuxedo.

The term Canadian Tuxedo was used before Super Troopers on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000: "The Final Sacrifice", aired 07/25/1998.
