Ruoholahti Canal is a canal located in the western part of the Helsinki city center, completed in 1995,[1] which leads from Hietalahti to the Ruoholahti Bay and separates Jätkäsaari from the mainland. The canal runs in a west–east direction and separates the Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari sub-areas.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a much wider natural strait was located on the site of the canal. The islands located to the south of it, Jätkäsaari, Hietasaari and Saukko, were largely used for villas. When the construction of the West Harbour began in the 1910s, the islands were connected and expanded by filling in part of the surrounding water area. At the same time, a wide embankment-type combined road and railway bridge was built across the eastern end of the strait, leaving only a narrow opening under it to connect the water areas on different sides of it. Later, in the 1960s, part of the water area west of the bridge was also filled in so that there was no longer a strait. The area was home to, among other things, lumber stores.
