Newry Canal is a modern canal in Newry and Mourne, Northern Ireland, constructed in the late eighteenth century to facilitate commercial transport between Newry and the Bann estuary. The canal represents an important early example of Irish canal engineering and served as a crucial artery for the movement of coal, agricultural products, and manufactured goods throughout the region. Its construction reflected the period's investment in inland water transport infrastructure as a means of economic development, though its commercial significance declined with the advent of railway transport in the nineteenth century. The canal remains a notable feature of the Newry townscape and wider landscape heritage of the area.
