The 1974–75 Vancouver Canucks season was the team's 5th in the NHL. With a realignment of the teams in the NHL, the Canucks left the East Division and joined the newly formed Smythe Division. The Canucks won their first division title under this new alignment, and as a result reached the playoffs for the first time. The Canucks earned a first round bye and played in the quarter-finals against the Montreal Canadiens; the Canucks lost 4 games to 1.

This season also marked the first, and as of 2010, the only season in which the Canucks played without a team captain.


Vancouver's picks at the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft. The draft was held at the NHL Office in Montreal, Quebec.
