Shooting at the 1994 Commonwealth Games
Venue	Heal's Range, Wallace Drive
Location	Victoria, Canada
Dates	18 to 28 August 1994

Shooting at the 1994 Commonwealth Games was the seventh appearance of Shooting at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Victoria, Canada, from 18 to 28 August 1994 and featured a record 32 events (an increase of 10 from 1990).

The shooting events were held at Heal's Range, off Wallace Drive, approximately 15km north of the centre of Victoria. The facility was owned by the Department of National Defence and was 17km from the athletes' village, set in a natural valley. It made use of an existing 1,000 yard fullbore range but added trap, skeet, smallbore, pistol and air rifle ranges specifically for the Games.

Australia topped the shooting medal table by virtue of winning ten gold medals.
