The Rheinniederungskanal is a drainage canal in the northwest of the district of Karlsruhe between Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen and Philippsburg. It was created during the Pfinz-Saalbach correction (1934-1962) from the connection of existing drainage systems.

The Rhine lowland canal is important for draining the fields behind the Rhine dam.
The water is pumped from the canal into the Rhine at the Philippsburg pumping station.
