CPR Alyth (Calgary) Yard is a 168-acre (0.68 km2) Class 1 railway facility in the neighbourhood of Alyth, southeast of downtown Calgary, Alberta. One of Canadian Pacific Railway's main marshalling yards in Canada, it primarily serves as a rail car repair shop and diesel locomotive servicing facilities on site.

The yard is CPR's busiest in Western Canada and is home terminal to crews operating north to Red Deer, Alberta, and west to Field, British Columbia, through the Spiral Tunnels.

The hump classification yard facility has been removed and trains are now made up by switching within the yard.

Alyth Yard is designed to handle approximately 2200 rail cars at 100% capacity, and is supported by satellite yards in Ogden Park, the Industrial Yard Office (IYO) and the Calgary Intermodal Facility at Sheppard.
