CCGS ''Teleost'' is a Canadian coastguard ship built in 1988 in Norway and commissioned into the CCG. She is one of the few foreign built ships serving the CCG.

In September 2009 the [[Department of Fisheries and Oceans]] announced invitations for contracts to replace several of the Coast Guards research vessels, including ''Teleost''.<ref name=Casr2009-09-10/> Her replacement will be larger, 67 metres in length. She will be staffed by a crew of 25, and will be able to carry an additional staff of 18 scientists. She is scheduled to be completed in 2011 or 2012.
