The Queen v. Church of Scientology of Toronto 1996 CanLII 1650 (ON C.A.) was a 1992 Canadian case in which seven members were convicted and the Church of Scientology became the only Canadian religious organization to be convicted for breaching the public trust. The Church of Scientology was ordered to pay a $250 000 fine.

Investigation into the Church of Scientology's activities in Ontario was begun when stolen documents from public and private agencies as well as information on other covert activities in Canada turned up as part of the evidence collected in the Operation Snow White case in the U.S.

It was during this case that the events that spawned the case of Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto occurred.
