Mission is a Canadian district municipality, in the province of British Columbia and is situated on the north bank of the Fraser River, overlooking the Fraser Valley. Mission is the twenty-third largest municipality in British Columbia, with a population of 31,272 (2001). Mission was incorporated in 1892 and is 225.78 km² in size. Originally it was two separate incorporations, the District Municipality of Mission and the smaller Town of Mission City; these were amalgamated by plebiscite in 1969.

Mission is also noted as the home of a long-established professional dragstrip, Mission Raceway Park, which was moved in relatively recent times outside the dyking of the lower part of town to reduce noise in residential and commercial areas nearby.

Mission is served by a regional transit system that connects the District of Mission with the City of Abbotsford. The service is operated by BC Transit, the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. Transportation infrastructure includes Abbotsford-Mission Highway 11, and the Lougheed Highway. Mission is also accessible through commuter rail, the "West Coast Express", which runs from Vancouver to Mission.
