The Thunder Bay Soroptimist International Friendship Garden is a city park located in the south end of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The park is located at the south end of the Chapples Recreation Complex, at the corners of Victoria Avenue and Hyde Park Avenue.

The Friendship Garden was organised in 1967 as a Centennial gift by the Soroptimist Club of Fort William-Port Arthur. The garden showcases unique monuments representing eighteen ethnic groups in the Thunder Bay area, laid out in a fifteen acre garden featuring man made ponds, floral displays, picnic tables, benches and walking trails.
