The Mittelland Canal, also known as the Midland Canal, (German: Mittellandkanal, German: [ˈmɪtl̩.lant.kaˌnaːl] ) is a major canal in central Germany. It forms an important link in the waterway network of the country, providing the principal east-west inland waterway connection. Its significance goes beyond Germany as it links France, Switzerland and the Benelux countries with Poland, the Czech Republic and the Baltic Sea.[1]

At 325.7 kilometres (202.4 mi) in length,[2] the Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany.
