The Hearne Craton is a craton in northern Canada that, together with the Rae Craton, forms the Western Churchill Province. It is one of six Archaean cratons of the Canadian Shield, alongside the Slave, Rae, Wyoming, Superior and Nain cratons, all bound together by Paleoproterozoic orogenic belts after having formed as independent microcontinents.
