The Edmonton Blues Festival (formerly Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival) is an annual blues music festival in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which was first held in 1999. The festival runs for three days (a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in mid-August at the Heritage Amphitheatre in Hawrelak Park. In 2008, the festival was the recipient of the 'Keeping The Blues Alive Award' from the Blues Foundation, based in Memphis, Tennessee. Due to renovations that will closed Hawrelak Park until 2026, the festival moved to Edmonton's RE/MAX Field for the 2023 edition.

The festival was last held in 2024. In 2026, it was announced that the festival was permanently cancelled.
