Canary Club (キャナァーリ倶楽部, Kyanāri Kurabu) is a Japanese girl group, founded by Tsunku in 2007 within his Nice Girl Project!.[1][2]

The group debuted in 2007 with the single "SWEET & TOUGHNESS" as a nine-member group. After two albums, six singles and various line-up changes between 2007 and 2011, Canary Club was transferred to Space Craft Group in 2011 with all members transferring except for Chihira Mochida, who remained a member of the group under TNX until her departure from the label in January 2015.. Since transferring, Canary Club have released songs for the games Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever in 2008 and 2011 respectively.

In a blog post discussing her departure, Chihara Mochida revealed that Canary Club went on hiatus in May 2012 to focus on individual activities.
