This article provides an up-to-date list of the members of the Senate of Canada (), the upper house of the Parliament of Canada, including their names, provinces or territories, political affiliations, and appointment dates. The list reflects the latest official records and is presented in a sortable table format. The 105 senators are appointed by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister, unlike the elected members of the House of Commons.

Senators originally held their seats for life; however, under the British North America Act, 1965, members may not sit in the Senate after reaching the age of 75.

, there are 98 sitting senators: 40 are members of the Independent Senators Group, 18 are members of the Canadian Senators Group, 17 are members of the Progressive Senate Group, 12 are members of the senate caucus of the Conservative Party of Canada, and 11 are non-affiliated. There are seven vacancies. Current senators have been appointed on the advice of Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, and Jean Chrétien.

Regional allocation

Senate seats are allocated on a regional basis:

24 seats each for Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime provinces 6 seats for Newfoundland and Labrador, and each of the Western provinces 1 seat each for the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut

Quebec is unique in having 24 constitutionally mandated Senate divisions. See Quebec Senate divisions for details. In other provinces, senators may choose a division name, but this has no constitutional significance.
