The Communications Research Centre (CRC) Canada is a scientific laboratory on Carling Avenue at Shirley's Bay in Ottawa.

The Communications Research Centre has been committed to applied and basic research in communications and related technologies since the late 1940s. Over the last 50 years many scientific and engineering milestones have been achieved, contributing to Canada's position as a world leader in wireless, satellite and broadcast technologies, as well as optoelectronics and photonics technologies.

An Agency of Industry Canada since 1993, CRC has maintained a tradition of excellence in addressing technical issues concerning the radio spectrum, the deployment of wireless communications and broadcast services, and the development of new technologies and knowledge for exploitation by the Canadian industry. CRC is the Canadian federal government's main research centre for communications technology R&D.

The Shirley's Bay campus consists of Canadian military and civilian research operations and includes the David Florida Laboratory of the Canadian Space Agency as well as the Ottawa operation of the Defence Research and Development Canada research facilities.
