Canadian Assault is an EP by Venom, released in 1984 on Banzai Records. It arrived in the same year as the band's third studio album, At War With Satan.

It sits in the early part of the Newcastle band's career, after Welcome to Hell in 1981 and Black Metal in 1982, and before Possessed in 1985. As a short release rather than a full album, it is best approached as a side note to that run of records, one for listeners who want to follow Venom's story through the mid-1980s.
