The Canadian Bank Note Company is a Canadian security printing company. It is best known for holding the contract with the Bank of Canada to supply it with Canada's banknotes. The company's other clients include private businesses, national and sub-national governments, central banks, and postal services from around the world. In addition to bank notes, the company produces passports, driver's licences, birth certificates, postage stamps, coupons, and many other security-conscious document-related products. It also prints and provides document reading systems for identification cards, lottery tickets, stamps, and bank notes.

From 1897 until 1923, CBN was a unit of the New York-based American Bank Note Company. It has since been based in Ottawa, Ontario. In October 2006, RR Donnelley completed acquisition of Canadian Bank Note's financial printing business, consisting of documentation for initial public offerings.
Since 2014, the Canadian Bank Note Company has been the chief-provider for machine readable passports used within the Caribbean Community bloc of countries. The majority of the new CARICOM passports as they are called serve the union as a centre-piece of promoting easy travel within the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME).
