The Canada national badminton team (French: Équipe nationale de badminton du Canada) represents Canada in international badminton team competitions.[1] It is controlled by the nation's governing body of badminton, Badminton Canada. The team's best result was achieving two semifinal finishes in both Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup.

Canada is one of the most prestigious badminton countries in the Americas, winning almost every mixed team event in the Pan American Badminton Championships and also winning gold in both men and women's teams. Next to the United States, Canada has won 21 gold medals, 22 silvers and 12 bronzes in badminton at the Pan American Games.

The national team has won almost every edition of the Pan American Badminton Championships mixed team events except for one in 2001. The men's team have also became recent champions while the women's team lost to the United States in 2022.
