Anime North (AN) is a not-for-profit, fan-run anime convention, held annually in Etobicoke, a western district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The convention was initially established in 1997 in Old Toronto, but moved to its current location in 2004. Its major attractions, activities and events include: industry guests, fan-run panel presentations, workshops, video presentations, gaming tournaments, musical performances, dances and cosplay. The show has two shopping areas, an "Artists Alley" for artworks and crafts and a general "Vendors Hall".

The largest anime convention in Canada by attendance numbers, AN is held at the Toronto Congress Centre, the Delta Airport Hotel and Conference Centre and the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel, all of which are within walking distance of one another on Dixon Road. Convention-run shuttle buses are available during daytime and the evening to connect the venues.
