Canada at the 2018 Winter Paralympics

Canada competed at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from 9 to 18 March 2018. Canada sent a team of 55 athletes to compete in all six sports. The chef de mission was retired sledge hockey player Todd Nicholson, appointed in January 2017.

Canada finished the Games with eight gold medals and 28 overall (ranking 3rd and 2nd, respectively). It was the most successful Canadian performance in terms of total medals, surpassing the 19 won at the 2010 Winter Paralympics. This also met the goal set by the Canadian Paralympic Committee to improve on the 16 medals won at the 2014 Winter Paralympics.

Opening ceremony flag-bearer Brian McKeever became Canada's most decorated Winter Paralympian after winning his 14th career medal at the Games, surpassing the previous record by Lana Spreeman, who won 13 medals between 1980 and 1994. He finished the Games with three gold and a bronze, for a career total of 13 gold medals and 17 medals in all, making him also the most decorated Paralympic cross-country skier ever.

Mark Arendz won a Canadian single Games record 6 medals (5 individual and a team relay medal), and was honoured as Canada's flag-bearer for the Games closing ceremony.
