nl Birminghamkanaalvaart   net van kanalen waardoor de industriële centra van Birmingham, Wolverhampton en de zog. Black Country ten noordwesten van Birmingham werden verbonden om de uitbreiding van de Engelse zware industrie in de eerste periode van de Industriële Revolutie te bevorderen. Van de totaal 257 kilometer narrow canals - waarvan de bouw in Engeland door de overheid moest worden toegestaan, maar welke in handen van particuliere ondernemingen lag - zijn tegenwoordig nog ongeveer 160 km voor kleine vaartuigen bevaarbaar.
Toen de stad Birmingham door de bouw van het Birmingham Canal in de jaren 1768-1772 aan het Staffordshire and Worcestershirekanaal was aangesloten en 1784 de Birmingham and Fazeley Canal company was opgericht, fusioneerden beiden en kozen voor de verdere uitbreiding van het systeem in 1794 de naam Birmingham Canal Navigations.

de Birmingham-Kanal-Fahrt Kanalnetz aus meist kurzen Trajekten, das die Industriezentren von Birmingham und Wolverhampton und die sog. Black Country nordwestlich von Birmingham verbindet, die sich in der Frühzeit der industriellen Revolution zum Zentrum der englischen Schwerindustrie entwickelte. Zur Zeit seiner größten Ausdehnung umfaßte das Netz 257 Kilometer, von denen gegenwärtig noch rd. 160 befahrbar sind.
In den Jahren 1768-72 entstand der Birmingham Canal als erster Kanal mit Anschluß an den Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Nach der Gründung der Birmingham and Fazeley Gesellschaft 1784 und der Zusammenlegung beider Gesellschaften wählte man 1794 den Namen Birmingham Canal Navigations, unter dem die Erweiterung des Systems stattfand.
