The '''Leeds and Liverpool Canal''' is a [[canal]] in [[Northern England]], linking the cities of [[Leeds]] and [[Liverpool]].

Over a distance of {{convert|127|mi|km}}, crossing the [[Pennines]], and including 91 locks on the main line. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal has several small branches, and in the early 21st century a new link was constructed into the [[Port of Liverpool|Liverpool docks system]].
