We report the first verified record of a Pacific Angel Shark (Squatina californica) from British Columbia, Canada. A Pacific Angel Shark, 1.1–1.2 m in total length, was observed on 30 April 2016 in approximately 12 m of water, 30 m from the tip of Clover Point, Vancouver Island, British Columbia (48°24'10"N, 123°20'56"W).
