Prince is a geographic township northwest of Sault Ste. Marie in Algoma District, Ontario, Canada.

One of the largest wind farms (Prince Township Wind Farm) in Canada is centred in Prince Township. It provides enough electricity to serve 20,000 homes. The project is run by Brascan Power Wind.

The township was named after John Prince, the first judge in the Algoma District.

Although the township is not officially part of the city of Sault Ste. Marie, most municipal services are contracted to the city.
