The Green Party of Canada (French: Parti vert du Canada) is a federal political party in Canada, founded in 1983 with a focus on green politics.

The Green Party is currently the fifth largest party in the House of Commons by seat count. It elected its first member of Parliament (MP), leader Elizabeth May, in the 2011 election, winning in the Saanich—Gulf Islands. In the 2019 election, the party expanded its caucus to three. In the 2021 election, the party fell to two seats.

Elizabeth May served as the party leader from 2006 to 2019, and again since November 19, 2022.[4] On February 4, 2025, the party ratified a motion to adopt a co-leadership model, with Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault serving together as co-leaders of the party.

The Green Party is founded on six principles: ecological wisdom, non-violence, social justice, sustainability, participatory democracy, and respect for diversity.[5]
