In the [[Royal Canadian Navy]], the rank of vice-admiral (VAdm) (''vice-amiral'' or ''Vam'' in [[French language|French]]) is equivalent to [[Lieutenant-General (Canada)|lieutenant-general]] of the [[Canadian Army]] and [[Royal Canadian Air Force]]. A vice-admiral is a [[flag officer]], the naval equivalent of a [[general officer]]. A vice-admiral is senior to a [[rear-admiral]] and [[major general]], and junior to an [[admiral]] and [[general]].

The rank insignia of a Canadian vice-admiral is as follows: 
 
* On the [[navy blue]] mess dress jacket and the navy blue service dress tunic: the cuff insignia is one wide gold braid below two standard size gold braids, the superior one includes the executive curl.
* On tropical white mess dress and tropical white service dress tunic: three silver maple leaves, beneath silver crossed sword and baton, all surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown located on gold shoulder boards.

Two rows of gold oak leaves are located on the black visor of the white service cap.  From 1968 to June 2010, the navy blue service dress tunic featured only a wide gold braid around the cuff with three gold maple leaves, beneath crossed sword and baton, all surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown located on cloth shoulder straps.

Vice-admirals are addressed by rank and name; thereafter by subordinates as "Sir" or "Ma'am".  Vice-admirals are normally entitled to a [[staff car]]; the car will normally bear a flag, dark blue with three gold maple leaves arranged one over two.

A vice-admiral generally holds only the most senior command or administrative appointments, barring only [[Chief of the Defence Staff (Canada)|Chief of Defence Staff]], which is held by a full [[admiral]] or [[general]]. Appointments held by vice-admirals may include:
* [[Vice Chief of the Defence Staff (Canada)|Vice Chief of the Defence Staff]] (VCDS);
* [[Chief of the Defence Staff (Canada)|Deputy Chief of Defence Staff]] (DCDS);
* Commander of an operational command (such as [[Canadian Joint Operations Command]]);
* [[Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy]];
* Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) of Defence in various capacities;
* Commander of, or representative to, a multinational force, alliance, or treaty organization.
