Canada Square is a complex of three interconnected office buildings located at Yonge and Eglinton in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, including a small shopping concourse. The two main towers are examples of International Style.

The complex's largest tenant is Canadian Tire, which has offices in all three buildings and its head office at 2180 Yonge Street. It is located right next to entrances to the Eglinton station on the Line 1 Yonge-University subway line, and it will soon be served by the Line 5 Eglinton light rail line.
