The Irtysh–Karaganda Canal (Kazakh: Ертіс-Қарағанды каналы, Ertıs-Qarağandy kanaly; Russian: Канал Иртыш — Караганда) is an irrigation canal in Kazakhstan. It connects the Irtysh River with Karaganda (Qaraghandy), a major industrial center in north-central Kazakhstan. After Kazakhstan's independence, the canal was officially renamed as the Kanysh Satpayev Canal (Russian: Канал имени Каныша Сатпаева) after the Kazakh geologist Kanysh Satpayev.
