List of Canadian cities named after non-Canadian cities
The article lists Canadian cities named after non-Canadian cities. Note that only one place in Canada is given for each non-Canadian city. However, it does includes cities named after certain institutions like country homes and castles. Places named indirectly are also included. That is, places named for something, such as a battle, that is named for a foreign city.
Some places have an indeterminate etymology, where it is known that they are named for a city in a particular country, but there is more than one place with that name and the etymology does not distinguish which one. These entries have "needs disambiguation" in their notes section.
Cities that have namesakes because they are biblical or prominent in ancient history are grouped in the section Ancient world, below the list of countries.
