The 4th Canadian Film Awards were presented on April 27, 1952 to honour achievements in Canadian film.[1]

This year's submissions were 20 documentaries and 50 films, including five full-length features, three of them French-language. Several changes were made; categories were expanded, the jury screenings were moved to Montreal, and more French-speaking judges were included. Also, the awards ceremony was moved from Ottawa to Toronto; this year's host was University of Toronto president Sidney Earle Smith.[1]
