The Canadian Virtual University (French: Université virtuelle canadienne; abbreviated bilingually as CVU-UVC) is an association of Canadian universities that specialize in distance education. All CVU-UVC member institutions are public universities accredited by both their home provincial governments and Universities Canada. Member universities retain full institutional autonomy in terms of academic policies and regulations, including admissions, tuition and related fees, content and design of courses, assessment, transfer credit assignments, and appeals.

CVU-UVC is governed by a board of directors, consisting of presidents and directors of distance education at participating universities. The current President and Chair of the Board is Dr. Martin Noël, President of TÉLUQ University of Quebec. CVU-UVC is managed by an executive director, Heidi Erisman.
