The Sterksel Canal is a canal in the Netherlands. The 6 km long canal runs partly parallel to the small river Sterksel Aa. This canal was dug between 1916 and 1920 as part of the land reclamation works of the NV 'De Heerlijkheid Sterksel' and was intended to drain the Peelven and Turfven near Sterksel, totaling 80 hectares, which the authorities wanted to drain. Belgian war refugees were used for this purpose.

Today, the Sterksel Canal is a beautiful waterway with a canopy of aquatic plants.
