Esquimalt Royal Naval Dockyard was a major Royal Navy yard on Canada's Pacific coast from 1842 to 1905.
Located in Esquimalt, British Columbia, adjacent to Victoria, British Columbia, to replace a base in Chile as the home of the Royal Navy's Pacific Squadron and was the only Royal Navy base in western North America. Esquimalt was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1905. It is now home to the Canadian Forces Pacific Command (CFB Esquimalt).
