The 1969 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Mosport Park on September 20, 1969. It was race 9 of 11 in both the 1969 World Championship of Drivers and the 1969 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The 90-lap race was won from pole position by Belgian driver Jacky Ickx in a works Brabham-Ford, with teammate Jack Brabham second and Jochen Rindt third in a works Lotus-Ford.
The race was the last World Championship Grand Prix in which Climax-powered cars were entered. One of the entrants, Al Pease, in an Eagle-Climax, became the only driver in F1 history to be disqualified for driving too slowly. The other entrant, John Cordts in a Brabham-Climax, retired after only ten laps.
By finishing sixth, Johnny Servoz-Gavin became the first (and, as of 2025, only) driver in Formula One history to score points in a four-wheel drive car.
