The Canal through Zuid-Beveland (Dutch: Kanaal door Zuid-Beveland) in the southwest Netherlands is the westernmost of two canals crossing the Zuid-Beveland peninsula. It connects the Western Scheldt (to the south of the canal) and the Eastern Scheldt (to the north).

It is crossed by a railroad bridge (between the railroad stations Kapelle-Biezelinge on the west and Kruiningen-Yerseke on the east), a road tunnel (the Vlake Tunnel) and two road bridges. Additionally, the canal has sluices that can carry road traffic.
