Noranda TSX: [NRD.LV-T] was a mining and metallurgy company originally from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 1920 as Noranda Mines to exploit Horne Mine. Extraction of copper began on 17 December 1927. Although extraction was originally predicted to last for only three years, additional reserves were quickly discovered. The Noranda head office came to be located in Toronto, and the company had operations in 18 countries.

In June 2005 Noranda completed its merger with Falconbridge Limited. The combined company continued under the Falconbridge name only.
