The Christian Atheist Party was a student political organization at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Its name came from a satirical article by Jean-Paul Sartre.

It was active from about 1957 until 1967. After 1967 new groups similar to the Students for a Democratic Society in the United States were formed on campus and the CA's ceased to exist. During their active years the Christian Atheists had some success in competition with the Liberal Party, the Progressive Conservatives, the Communist Party, and the New Democratic Party.
