In the context of the 2025 United States trade war with Canada and Mexico, a boycott of the United States began in Canada, including both American consumer products and travel to the US.

This boycott occurs in the context of polling finding that 91% of Canadians want Canada to rely less on the US, an option preferred over repairing the relationship with the US. The shift in attitude towards the United States has been described as unprecedented by many. In February, 90% of Canadians claimed to follow the issue of the trade war closely, the highest level of engagement with a news item since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Canadian boycott also occurs within the context of some residents of other countries like Denmark boycotting the United States, its products, and/or brands associated with Donald Trump's presidency like Tesla.
