An American in Canada is a Canadian television sitcom which airs on the CBC.

The show stars Rick Roberts as Jake Crewe, an American television news host who is forced, after beating up his station manager, to accept a job in Calgary, Alberta as the host of the lowest-rated morning news program in town. The show finds its comedy in Crewe's attempts to adapt to Canadian culture.

An American in Canada is loosely based on the real-life experiences of Jebb Fink , an American comedian who moved to Canada after marrying a Canadian woman, and did become a morning television host on CKAL, Calgary's A-Channel station.
