The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal (Dutch: Kanaal van Gent naar Terneuzen), also known as the "Sea Canal" (Zeekanaal) is a canal linking Ghent in Belgium to the port of Terneuzen on the Westerschelde (Scheldt) estuary in the Netherlands, thereby providing the former with better access to the sea.

The canal was finished in 1827, when Belgium and the Netherlands were still unified. Traffic was stopped by the Dutch from the Belgian Revolution in 1830 until 1841.

From 1870 until 1885 the canal was excavated.
