The inscription on the obelisk at Quebec City, erected to commemorate the battle on the Plains of Abraham once read: "Here Died Wolfe Victorious." In order to avoid offending French-Canadians it now simply reads: "Here Died Wolfe."<ref name="General James Wolfe">{{cite news |first=Victoria M. |last=Stewart |url=http://www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1210805 |title=Wolfe celebrations set for 2009 |work=[[Kingston Whig-Standard]] |date=22 September 2008 |access-date=22 September 2008 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120913095430/http://www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1210805 |archive-date=13 September 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Wolfe's defeat of the French led to the British capture of the [[New France]] department of [[Canada, New France|Canada]], and his "hero's death" made him a legend in his homeland. The Wolfe legend led to the famous painting ''[[The Death of General Wolfe]]'' by [[Benjamin West]], the Anglo-American folk ballad "Brave Wolfe"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dpnews.com/midimelodies/Brave%20Wolfe.MID |title=Brave Wolfe |work=Dulcimer Players News |access-date=21 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060725035010/http://www.dpnews.com/midimelodies/Brave%20Wolfe.MID |archive-date=25 July 2006 }}</ref> (sometimes known as "Bold Wolfe"), and the opening line of the patriotic Canadian anthem "[[The Maple Leaf Forever]]".

In 1792, scant months after the partition of Quebec into the provinces of [[Upper Canada]] and [[Lower Canada]], the [[lieutenant-governor]] of the former, [[John Graves Simcoe]], named the archipelago at the entrance to the [[St. Lawrence River]] for the victorious generals: [[Wolfe Island (Ontario)|Wolfe Island]], [[Amherst Island]], [[Howe Island]], [[Carleton Island]] and [[Gage Island]], for [[Thomas Gage]].  The last is now known as [[Simcoe Island]].

In 1832, the first war monument in present-day Canada was erected on the site where Wolfe purportedly fell. The site is marked by a column surmounted by a helmet and sword. An inscription at its base reads, in French and English, "Here died Wolfe – 13 September 1759." It replaces a large stone which had been placed there by British troops to mark the spot.

Wolfe's Landing National Historic Site of Canada is located in Kennington Cove, on the east coast of [[Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia]]. Contained entirely within the Fortress of Louisbourg [[National Historic Site of Canada]], the site is bounded by a rocky beach to the south, and a rolling landscape of grasses and forest to the north, east and west. It was from this site that, during the [[Seven Years' War]], British forces launched their successful attack on the French forces at [[Louisbourg]]. Wolfe's Landing was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1929 because: "here, on 8 June 1758, the men of Brigadier General James Wolfe's brigade made their successful landing, leading to the capitulation of Louisbourg".<ref>{{CRHP|13556|Wolfe's Landing National Historic Site of Canada}}</ref><ref>{{DFHD|300|Wolfe's Landing National Historic Site of Canada}}</ref>

There is a memorial to Wolfe in [[Westminster Abbey]] by [[Joseph Wilton]]. The 3rd Duke of Richmond, who had served in Wolfe's regiment in 1753, commissioned a bust of Wolfe from Wilton. There is an oil painting "Placing the Canadian Colours on Wolfe's Monument in Westminster Abbey" by [[Emily Warren (artist)|Emily Warren]] in [[Currie Hall]] at the [[Royal Military College of Canada]].

A statue of Wolfe overlooks the [[Royal Naval College, Greenwich|Royal Naval College]] in [[Royal Borough of Greenwich|Greenwich]], a spot which has become increasingly popular for its panoramic views of London. A statue also graces the green in his native [[Westerham]], Kent, alongside one of that village's other famous resident, Sir [[Winston Churchill]]. At [[Stowe Gardens]] in Buckinghamshire there is an obelisk, known as Wolfe's obelisk, built by the family that owned Stowe as Wolfe spent his last night in England at the mansion. Wolfe is buried under the Church of [[St Alfege, Greenwich]], where there are four memorials to him: a replica of his coffin plate in the floor; ''The Death of Wolfe'', a painting completed in 1762 by Edward Peary; a wall tablet; and a stained glass window. In addition the local primary school is named after him. The house in Greenwich where he lived, Macartney House, has an [[List of English Heritage blue plaques in London|English Heritage blue plaque]] with his name on, and a nearby road is named General Wolfe Road after him.<ref>{{cite book|last=Williams|first=Guy R.|title=London in the country: the growth of suburbia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dtwEAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA85|year=1975|publisher=Hamilton|page=85|isbn=9780241891933}}</ref>

In 1761, as a perpetual memorial to Wolfe, [[George Warde]], a friend of Wolfe's from boyhood, instituted the [[Wolfe Society]], which to this day meets annually in [[Westerham]] for the Wolfe Dinner to his "Pious and Immortal Memory". Warde paid Benjamin West to paint "The Boyhood of Wolfe" which used to hang at Squerres Court but has recently been donated to the National Trust and is now hung at Quebec House his childhood home in Westerham. Warde also erected a cenotaph in Squerres Park to mark the place where Wolfe had received his first commission while visiting the Wardes.

There are several institutions, localities, thoroughfares, and landforms named in honour of him in Canada. Significant monuments to Wolfe in Canada exist on the Plains of Abraham where he fell, and near [[Parliament Hill]] in [[Ottawa]]. Ontario Governor [[John Graves Simcoe]] named [[Wolfe Island (Ontario)|Wolfe Island]], an island in [[Lake Ontario]] and the Saint Lawrence River off the coast of [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]] (near the [[Royal Military College of Canada]]) in Wolfe's honour in 1792. On 13 September 2009, the Wolfe Island Historical Society led celebrations on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of James Wolfe's victory at Quebec. A life-size statue in Wolfe's likeness is to be sculpted.<ref name="General James Wolfe"/>

[[Mount Royal, Calgary|South Mount Royal Park, Calgary]] is home to a James Wolfe statue since 2009,<ref>{{cite news |last= Finch |first= David |title= Wolfe rises on anniversary of his death |work= Calgary Herald |date= 6 September 2009 |access-date= 24 April 2020 |url= https://www.pressreader.com/canada/calgary-herald/20090906/282033323228053}}</ref> but it was originally located in Exchange Court in New York City.<ref>{{cite news |title=Where They are is Known; Why They Went, Isn't |work=The New York Times |date=1 April 2007 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/01/realestate/01scap.html}}</ref><ref name="waymarking.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMEVFJ_General_Wolfe_Calgary_Alberta |title=General Wolfe – Calgary, Alberta |website=Waymarking.com |date=9 July 2012}}</ref> It was sculpted in 1898 by [[John Massey Rhind]] and moved into storage around 1945 to 1950, sold in 1967 and relocated to [[Centennial Planetarium]] in Calgary, stored 2000 to 2008 and finally installed again in 2009.<ref name="waymarking.com"/>

A senior girls house at the [[Duke of York's Royal Military School]] is named after Wolfe, where all houses are named after prominent figures of the military. There is a James Wolfe school for children aged 5–11 down the hill from his house in Greenwich, in Chesterfield Walk, which is just east of General Wolfe Road.

His letters home from the age of 13 until his death<ref>{{cite web |url=https://fisher.library.utoronto.ca/wolfe-correspondence |title=U of T Libraries Acquire General James Wolfe's Historic Letters |date=2013 |work=Fisher Library |publisher=University of Toronto |access-date=2 November 2017}}</ref> as well as his copy of Gray's ''[[Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard]]'' and other items are housed at the [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]] in Toronto, Ontario.<ref>{{cite news |last=Brown |first=Ian |title= Inside old-school books, every scribble tells a story|work=The Globe and Mail |date=26 March 2017 |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/inside-old-school-books-every-scribble-tells-a-story/article4097141/}}</ref>  Other artefacts and relics owned by Wolfe are held at museums in both Canada and England, although some have mainly legendary association. Wolfe's cloak worn at Louisbourg, Quebec and at the Plains of Abraham is part of the British [[Royal Collection]]. In 2008 it was lent to the [[Maritime Museum of the Atlantic]] in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]] for an exhibit on the Siege of Louisbourg, and in 2009 was loaned to the Army Museum at the [[Citadel Hill (Fort George)|Halifax Citadel]] where it remains on display. Wolfe Crescent, Halifax, Nova Scotia is named after Wolfe.

[[Point Wolfe]] is a former village and current [[campground]] located in [[Fundy National Park]], which additionally contains the [[Point Wolfe Bridge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/nb/fundy/activ/camping/avantpays-frontcountry/pointwolfex |title=Point Wolfe campground |website=Fundy National Park |publisher=[[Parks Canada]] |date=18 September 2017}}</ref> The town of [[Wolfeboro, New Hampshire]] is named in honour of Wolfe.  In Montreal, Rue Wolfe parallels Rue Montcalm and Rue Amherst, while in the Quebec City neighbourhood of Ste-Foy, he has given his name to an avenue.
