This article lists the Canadian number-one albums of 1971.[1] The chart was compiled and published by RPM every Saturday.

The top position (December 26, 1970, Vol. 14, No. 19) preceding January 9, 1971 (Vol. 14, No. 20-21) was George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.[2] Five acts held the top position in the albums and singles charts simultaneously: George Harrison on January 9 – 16, The Rolling Stones on June 12 – 19, Carole King on July 10 – 24, Paul and Linda McCartney on September 18 and Rod Stewart on October 9.[3] The eponymous Santana album, often referred to as Santana III to avoid confusion with their likewise eponymous debut album, was listed as New Santana.)
