The Vancouver Canadians are a Minor League Baseball team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that plays in the Northwest League (NWL). The team was founded after the original Vancouver Canadians relocated to Sacramento, California, days after winning the Triple-A World Series in 1999, and the Southern Oregon Timberjacks relocated to Vancouver, assuming the Canadians identity, for the 2000 Northwest League season.

This league was renamed the Northwest League in 2022.
