"Canadian Idiot" is a song by American parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, released on 26 September 2006 from his album Straight Outta Lynwood. It is a parody of Green Day's song "American Idiot".

The song is a sarcastic parody of the stereotypical American view of the Canadian way of life and a satire of American xenophobia. Yankovic pokes fun at an accentuated Canadian dialect and Canadians' love of ice hockey, beer, macaroni and cheese, and doughnuts. At the end of the song, he says that the Canadians are "up to something" and calls for a "preemptive strike".

Although critical reception to the song was mixed, "Canadian Idiot" is among Yankovic's best-charting songs, peaking at No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100. He included it on the set lists of four of his concert tours, and fans responded with hundreds of homemade music videos.
