The Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal (also known as the Ludwig Canal or regionally “Old Canal”) was a 172.4 km long waterway between the Danube near Kelheim and the Main near Bamberg in the 19th and 20th centuries. More broadly, the canal, built between 1836 and 1846, was part of a navigable connection between the North Sea at Rotterdam and the Black Sea at Constanța. By crossing the main European watershed, the ambitious construction project took on a special status. 100 locks, some in the Altmühl and Regnitz rivers, managed a total height difference of 264 meters (80 m ascent from the Danube and 184 m descent to the Main). The successor to the canal, which was closed in 1950, is the Main-Danube Canal, which was built between 1960 and 1992.

Between Beilngries and Nuremberg, the Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal has largely been preserved in its historical scope and with some functions. In 2018 it was recognized by the Federal Chamber of Engineers as a historical landmark of civil engineering.
