The Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) is a Canadian independent trade union founded in 1952 that represents workers across multiple sectors, including construction, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and services. Headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario, CLAC is not affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress and is a member of the World Organization of Workers. As of 2015, it represents approximately 65,986.

CLAC has been characterized by other Canadian trade unions as a "company union" for its support of employer‑friendly legislation. However, the Alberta Labour Relations Board has repeatedly certified CLAC as a bona fide trade union under the Labour Relations Code, confirming it is an independent organization representing employees and not employer‑dominated.
