Traders was a Canadian television drama series, which aired on Global Television Network from 1995 to 2000.

The show was set in a Bay Street investment bank, Gardner Ross. Bruce Gray and Sonja Smits starred as the firm's head partners, Adam Cunningham and Sally Ross. The cast also included Patrick McKenna, David Cubitt, Rick Roberts, Chris Leavins, Gabriel Hogan, David Hewlett and Alex Carter.

The show, although one of the most popular Canadian television series of its era, was expensive to produce. In the 1998-1999 season, Global entered a joint production arrangement with the CBC, and the series aired on both networks for several months. However, this arrangement didn't last into the show's next season.

Also in 1998, McKenna became the only actor in the history of the Gemini Awards to win for best actor in a drama series (for Traders) and best actor in a comedy (for The Red Green Show) in the same year.
