Parkhurst Products was a Canadian confectionery manufacturing company based in Toronto. Parkhurst also produced Parkies and Zip trading cards in the 1950s and 1960s. Led by George Kennedy, it primarily produced hand-size picture cards mainly for ice hockey, but also for baseball, Canadian football, wrestling and other subjects.

Nowadays, the Parkhurst brand is property of Upper Deck, which acquired the company in 2005. Upper Deck has been releasing ice hockey cards with the brand Parkhurst since then, having started in June 2006.
