Slavery in Canada includes historical practices of enslavement practised both by the First Nations until the latter half of the 19th century, and by colonists during the period of European colonization. The practice of slavery in Canada by colonists effectively ended early in the 19th century, through local statutes and court decisions resulting from litigation on behalf of enslaved people seeking manumission.
