Canadian royalty may refer to Canadians; who are members of royal families, Canadian through birth, naturalization, or marriage; or Canadian families that are given the epithet or moniker as Canadian royalty or Canadian royals. Additionally, Canada is a monarchy, so members of the Canadian monarchy are Canadian royalty.

Former monarchies of Canada
Former colonial monarchies of territory now Canada
- French monarchy (House of Bourbon),[1][2] of the colony of New France
- English monarchy (House of Stuart),[1][2] prior to the UK's Act of Union, for the colony of Newfoundland
- Norwegian monarchy, for the Sverdrup Islands.[2]
- Danish monarchy and Norwegian monarchy, for Viking colonies
Indigenous Native royals
Many tribes, bands, nations, have or still have inherited chieftainships, with hereditary chiefs. Canadian colonization of the land required that these First Nations groups have elected band councils and tribal chiefs, which the federal government would recognize and deal with. The colonial expansion also resulted in waves of diseases that have wiped out some hereditary lineages. None of the remaining hereditary chiefs or lineages are recognized as royal by the Canadian governments.[3]
