The Twante Canal (Burmese: တွံတေး တူးမြောင်း [tʊ̀ɰ̃té tú mjáʊɰ̃]) is a canal that connects the Irrawaddy River and the Yangon river in Myanmar. The 35 km (22 mi) canal is a heavily used short cut between the city of Yangon and the Irrawaddy Division. The canal is named after the town of Twante, located near the canal's mid-way point. The canal was the quickest route from Yangon to the Irrawaddy Delta until the 1990s when roads between Yangon and the Irrawaddy Division became usable year round. The canal is still heavily used.

Avant les années 1990 et l'amélioration des routes, désormais utilisables toute l'année, le canal de Twante était la voie la plus rapide entre Rangoon et la delta de l'Irrawaddy. Avec le temps, le manque d'entretien a conduit à son rétrécissement et à son envasement. En 2010, son entrée a été élargie de 180 m. Il reste cependant des problèmes de navigation, tant que les plans de bétonnage des berges n'auront pas été appliqués. (fr)

The canal was the quickest route from Yangon to the Irrawaddy Delta until the 1990s when roads between Yangon and the Irrawaddy Division became usable year round. The canal is still heavily used. Due to the lack of regular maintenance, the canal has become silted and narrower over the years. In 2010, the mouth of the canal was widened by 600 feet (180 m). However, plans to put in concrete embankments were yet to be carried out, and the navigation problems still remain. Twante Bridge is only bridge that spans the Twante Canal (en)
