Lagan Canal is a canal in Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, constructed during the eighteenth century to facilitate commercial transport and improve navigation of the River Lagan. The waterway was engineered to connect Belfast with the interior, serving the linen industry and other trades that formed the economic foundation of the region during the Industrial period. The canal represents an important example of early modern infrastructure development in Ulster, reflecting the commercial ambitions of the period and the strategic importance of water transport before the railway age. The monument retains archaeological and historical significance as evidence of eighteenth-century civil engineering and industrial enterprise in the north of Ireland.
