Fascism in Canada consisted of a variety of movemements and political parties in Canada during the twentieth century. Largely a fringe ideology, fascism has never commanded a large following amongst the Canadian people and was most popular during the Great Depression (see Great Depression in Canada). The largest and most influential Canadian fascist movements included [1]:

• The Canadian Union of Fascists - Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and modeled on Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.
• Parti national social chrétien - Based in Quebec and founded by Adrien Arcand the so-called "Canadian Führer".
• National Unity Party - Arcand's attempt to create a pan-Canadian fascist party.
• Canadian Nationalist Party - A Western Canadian fascist party that later joined with others to form the National Unity Party.

Most Canadian fascist leaders were interred at the outbreak of World War 2 and in the post-war period, fascism never recovered its former small influence.
