Restaurant Brands International is a Canadian multinational fast food company. Formed by the $12.5 billion merger between American fast food restaurant chain Burger King, the Canadian coffee shop and restaurant chain Tim Hortons, and the 2017 purchase of Louisiana based and themed Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, the company is the third-largest operator of fast food restaurants in the world. The company is based alongside Tim Hortons in Oakville, Ontario, but both chains retain their existing operations and headquarters in Oakville and Miami respectively. The merger focused primarily on expanding the international reach of the Tim Hortons brand, and providing financial efficiencies for both companies.

The company is majority-owned by the Brazilian investment company 3G Capital—the previous majority owner of Burger King—holding a 51% stake. The remainder of the company is publicly traded on the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges, and owned by the prior shareholders of Burger King and Tim Hortons. The deal was approved by Tim Hortons' shareholders on December 9, 2014, and the company began trading on December 15, 2014.
