The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) is a national parachurch association of over 140 affiliated church denominations, ministry organizations, educational institutions, and 1,000 local church congregations. All affiliated groups identify themselves as part of the evangelical movement in Canada.

The EFC was founded in 1964 as a means promoting cooperative participation in the Canadian political and social arenas. The organization promotes public awareness of issues that are of concern to the evangelical community, and serves as a lobbying force to influence controversial legislation regarding issues such as religious freedoms, defining marriage, child pornography, and abortion/fetal rights. In 1982 they successfully campaigned to have God's supremacy recognized in the preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The EFC publishes Faith Today magazine, the major evangelical publication in Canada.
