Non-therapeutic circumcision of children in Canada is a practice that is of uncertain lawfulness.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982), [https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/how-rights-protected/guide-canadian-charter-rights-freedoms.html#a2e Article 7] provides every Canadian with the right to security of the person.<ref name="chhrp2018" />

In addition, Canada is a state-party to the United Nations ''Covenant on Civil and Political Rights'' (1966) and the ''Convention on the Rights of the Child'' (1989), both of which provide various [[human rights]] to children, which are violated by non-therapeutic child circumcision.
