The Invasion of Canada may refer to several events in history.

• The British and French colonial empires contested Canada through several wars:

• King George's War (1744–1748)
• The French and Indian War (1754–1763)

• The United States invaded Canada in two wars:

• The War of 1812

• A small group of American rebels from the Hunters' Lodges invaded Canada in the Patriot War (1837–1838) and the Battle of the Windmill in 1838
• The Fenian raids, based in the United States, also targeted Canada between 1866 and 1871
• The United States developed an invasion plan known as War Plan Red in the mid-1920s. The plan was a contingency for the unlikely event of war with the United Kingdom. It was officially withdrawn in 1939.
