The '''Literary Translators' Association of Canada''' ('''LTAC''') (or, in [[French language|French]], ''Association des traducteurs et traductrices littéraires du Canada'' (ATTLC)) is an association of literary [[translation|translators]] from across [[Canada]].

The Literary Translators' Association of Canada is affiliated with the [[International Federation of Translators]] (FIT).

==History==
The Literary Translators' Association of Canada was founded in 1975 and now has approximately 120 members, mainly translating literary works originally written in French or [[English language|English]], although many work in other languages.

Among the LTAC's achievements has been obtaining codified recognition of translations as literary works in the Canadian [[Copyright]] Act, and a 50% share of [[public lending right]] payments for translators.
 
The Association's activities focus primarily on serving its members and on raising public awareness of quality in translation. To this end the LTAC sponsors the [[John Glassco Translation Prize]], an annual award with a $1000 purse for a first book-length translation into French or English from any language.
