The Coalisland Canal is a canal in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, constructed in the late eighteenth century to serve the coal mining and agricultural industries of the region. The waterway was designed to facilitate the transport of coal from local collieries and other goods between Coalisland and the River Blackwater, thereby connecting inland extractive industries to wider commercial networks. The canal represents an important example of late Georgian infrastructure development in Ulster, reflecting the period's investment in transport improvements to support industrial enterprise. Though sections have been lost or degraded over subsequent centuries, surviving portions of the canal and associated structures remain as evidence of this significant phase in the region's economic history.
