The Saale-Leipzig Canal (SLK), called the Elster-Saale Canal by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration until 1999 and also called the Saale-Elster Canal on the Halle side, is a canal project that began in 1933 and was discontinued in 1943 The White Elster in Leipzig should connect with the Saale near Leuna and thus connect Leipzig to the North German waterway network via the Saale and Elbe and to the North Sea via Hamburg. The canal was planned for ships up to 1000 tons (around class IV).

The construction of the Elster-Saale canal began in 1850. The lawyer and businessman Karl Heine wanted to connect the two rivers for the purpose of shipping in Saxony, which was then industrially up-and-coming, and to make Leipzig accessible for inland waterway traffic. However, due to World War II, this canal was never completed. It has neither a connection to the Elster nor the Saale and is not navigable by ships, but you have to reckon with pleasure boats.
