Canoeing competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru are scheduled to be held at the Rio Canete located in the city of Lunahuaná (slalom) and TBD (sprint).

The sprint competitions will start on August 6th and finish on the 9th, while slalom will start on the 8th and finish on the 10th.

In 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made several changes to its sports program, which were subsequently implemented for these games. Included in this was the addition of the women's C2 500 metres event in sprint (the women's C1 200 metres event was also added to the Olympics, but was already contested at the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games). This also meant the removal of two men's events in sprint (C1 200 and K2 200).[1][2] Also added to just the Pan American Games program was the addition of two extreme (head to head) slalom kayak events.[3]

18 medal events are scheduled to be contested, 12 in sprint (six per gender) and six in slalom (three per gender).[3]
