The Calgary–Edmonton Corridor is a geographical region of the Canadian province of Alberta. It is the most urbanized area in Alberta and is one of Canada's four most urban regions. It consists of Statistics Canada Alberta census divisions No. 11, No. 8, and No. 6. Measured from north to south, the region covers a distance of approximately 400 km (250 mi). It includes the entire census metropolitan areas of Calgary and Edmonton and the census agglomerations of Red Deer and Wetaskiwin.

The Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) Highway (Highway 2), the busiest stretch of highway in Alberta, is the central spine of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor. A Canadian Pacific rail line runs generally parallel to the QE2 Highway, or its Highway 2A feeder system, between Calgary and Edmonton, however there is currently no passenger rail service.

The Calgary–Edmonton Corridor has two major international airports – the Calgary International and Edmonton International. The corridor is one of Canada's busiest commuter flight sectors. Many business people fly return trips in a single business day. Airlines that fly this route include Air Canada and WestJet, having up to approximately 20 and 10 daily flights respectively.
