The Calgary Roller Derby Association is a not-for-profit flat-track roller derby league based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The CRDA was founded in 2007, and is skater-owned and skater-operated.

Currently (as of its start in 2007) there are two teams within the league: The Cut-Throat Car Hops, and the Thrashin' Lassies. Both of these teams has a roster of approximately 15 skaters, of which only five may be on the floor during any single jam - three blockers, one pivot and one jammer. There is also a Fresh Meat team of new skaters.

The league skates on a flat track, and operates under a modified rule set similar to Women's Flat Track Derby Association rules, although they are not a member of WFTDA.
