Kenora (2001 population 15,838) is a small city situated on the Lake of the Woods in northwestern Ontario, Canada close to the Manitoba boundary, about 200km east of Winnipeg. Kenora is home to the annual International Bass Fishing Tournament. It is the seat of Kenora District.

Forestry, tourism and mining are the three largest sectors of the Kenora economy. The population balloons in the spring and summer to almost double the normal population when summer residents move in. The Lake of the Woods and numerous smaller lakes situated all around Kenora are the major draw for cottagers who summer here. Many are from the neighbouring province of Manitoba and the state of Minnesota.

Confederation College has a Kenora campus as well, and serves post-secondary and adult education needs in the city and surrounding area.

Kenora has a 40' tall fish Statue named Husky the Musky.
Recently, some residents have expressed interest in separating from Ontario and joining neighbouring Manitoba. Reasons cited include high costs of doing business in the forestry sector and high hydro (electric) rates in Ontario. A local businessman has started a petition to the Government of Ontario.
