Flight to Canada is a 1976 novel by African-American author Ishmael Reed.

Set in the last years of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the story makes ready use of anachronism, referencing both actual and fabricated pop-cultural phenomena from the twentieth century, such as the made-up "Beecher Hour" TV show, as well as technology such alike cassette tapes, jumbo jets, and Coffee-Mate.

Published in the year of the United States Bicentennial, the book was called "a demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin" by The New York Times.

[1] Reed himself has described the novel, as a "neo–slave narrative", and its influence has been identified in the work of Colson Whitehead.
