The Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) (French: Conseil des académies canadiennes, CAC) is a private, non-profit corporation that was created to perform independent, expert assessments of the science that is relevant to important public issues.

The CCA received a $30 million founding grant in 2005 from the Government of Canada. The CCA's assessment scope includes the natural, social and health sciences, engineering and the humanities. The grant supported core operations for 10 years and was renewed twice, in 2015 with an additional $15 million for five years and in 2018 with an additional $9 million for three years starting in 2020–2021.

In 2023, it was provided with renewed funding through the Strategic Science Fund.
