Hungarian-Canadians are persons in Canada of Hungarian ancestry. According to 2001 Statistics Canada census, there are 315,510 Canadians of Hungarian ancestry. The majority of Hungarian immigration occurred after World War II, the wave peaked after the 1956 Hungarian revolution against communist rule and over 100,000 Hungarian refugees went to Canada. The Hungarian-Canadian community is among the country's multiple ethnicities and one of the top five countries of the Hungarian diaspora.
The town of Esterhazy, Saskatchewan (as also Otthon, Saskatchewan) was founded and settled by Hungarians.
