Onaping Falls (1996 census population 5,277) was a town in the Canadian province of Ontario, which existed from 1973 to 2000. It was created as part of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury, and took its name from the waterfalls (High Falls) on the Onaping River.

On January 1, 2001, the town and the Regional Municipality were dissolved and amalgamated into the city of Greater Sudbury. The town is now part of Ward 3 on Greater Sudbury City Council.

In the Canada 2011 Census, the main communities in Onaping Falls were listed for the first time as two of six distinct population centres (or urban areas) in Greater Sudbury: Dowling (population 1,690, density 475.0 km²)^[1] and Onaping-Levack (population 2,042, density 251.3 km²).^[2] In the Canada 2016 Census, Onaping-Levack was dropped from the city's list of population centres, due to its population density falling below the 400/km² standard, but Dowling was recorded as having a population of 1,466.
