This is a list of aircraft of the Royal Canadian Navy. It also covers the period post-1968 when in theory all aircraft operations were transferred to the air section of the newly unified Canadian Armed Forces (now Canadian Forces Maritime Command).

Prior to World War II Canada did not operate any naval aircraft. The Royal Navy Air Service's Royal Navy Canadian Air Service operated flying boats. During World War II, Canada's naval aircraft were carrier based aircraft inherited from the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. From the end of war to the 1960s, the RCN operated both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. After the CF sold off their last carrier (HMCS Bonaventure), Canada's navy only operated helicopters on their ships. The Tracker aircraft was stationed inland and performed maritime patrols.
