R v Morgentaler, [1988] 1 SCR 30 was a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada which held that the abortion provision in the Criminal Code was unconstitutional because it violated women's rights under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter") to security of the person. Since this ruling, there have been no criminal laws regulating abortion in Canada.

- R. c. Morgentaler est une décision de la Cour suprême du Canada rendue le 28 janvier 1988 et impliquant la décriminalisation de l'avortement. Elle tire son nom de Henry Morgentaler, médecin et militant pour le droit à l'avortement, ayant pratiqué plusieurs milliers d'IVG illégales et qui a soutenu que l'article 251 du Code criminel, qui interdisait certains avortements, était contraire à la constitution du Canada.
