The Pacific Pilotage Authority (French: Administration de pilotage du Pacifique) is a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada that is responsible for pilotage through coastal waters in British Columbia, including the Fraser River.[1]

It was established by the Pilotage Act in 1972 as a result of recommendations made by the Royal Commission on Pilotage in Canada.[3]

In 2023, Julie Gascon was named as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the organization.[4][5]
