The 4th Canadian Division Support Group (4 CDSG) is a Regular Force Army Formation within the 4th Canadian Division (4 Can Div). 4 CDSG provides garrison-based institutional support to all Army formations within Ontario, be they deployed in Canada or abroad, and support all lodger units housed in the assigned areas of responsibility.

In July 2013, the formation was renamed as 4th Canadian Division Support Group coinciding with an Army-wide reorganization of garrison forces and with the renaming of Land Forces Central Area to 4th Canadian Division.
