Tarbutt (formerly known as Tarbutt and Tarbutt Additional) is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, located within the Algoma District. The township is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Sault Ste. Marie.

Its population centres are Port Findlay (46°19′05″N 84°01′09″W / 46.31806°N 84.01917°W / 46.31806; -84.01917)[2] and MacLennan (46°21′05″N 84°01′22″W / 46.35139°N 84.02278°W / 46.35139; -84.02278).[3] It is the only municipality along the North Channel of Lake Huron which includes no residential communities located directly along Highway 17; MacLennan is located north of the highway at the intersection of MacLennan Road and Government Road, while Port Findlay is located at the south end of MacLennan Road along the waterfront.

In December 2016, the municipal council adopted a by-law to officially shorten the name of the township from The Corporation of the Township of Tarbutt & Tarbutt Additional to the Corporation of the Township of Tarbutt, effective in January 2017.[4]
