切萨皮克与特拉华运河（英語：Chesapeake and Delaware Canal，简称：C&D 运河）是美国马里兰州与特拉华州的一条连接特拉華河与切萨皮克湾的运河，长14-英里（23-公里），宽450-英尺（140-米），深40-英尺（12-米），由美國陸軍工兵隊维护。

The Chesapeake & Delaware Canal (C&D Canal) is a 14-mile (22.5 km)-long, 450-foot (137.2 m)-wide and 35-foot (10.7 m)-deep ship canal that connects the Delaware River with the Chesapeake Bay in the states of Delaware and Maryland in the United States. The canal is itself a significant landmark and cultural boundary for the state of Delaware, considered a divide between the urbanized northern portion of the state and the rural southern portion known locally as "Lower Delaware", and demarcates an unofficial northern limit to the Delmarva Peninsula.

Le Canal Chesapeake & Delaware, localement appelé C&D Canal, est un canal reliant, comme son nom l'indique, la baie de Chesapeake et l'estuaire de la Delaware. Il permet en particulier de réduire le trajet entre Philadelphie et Baltimore de cinq cents kilomètres, et facilite grandement l'accès à ce dernier port. Le nouvel ouvrage, intégralement au niveau de la mer, plus profond et plus large, ouvre en mai 1927. Les concepteurs du nouveau canal ayant prévu un possible élargissement, plusieurs opérations d'agrandissement et de dragage sont menées jusque dans les années 1970.

Il canale di Chesapeake e Delaware (C&D Canal) è un canale navale lungo 22,5 km, largo 137,2 m e profondo 10,7 m che collega il fiume Delaware con la baia di Chesapeake negli Stati del Delaware e del Maryland negli Stati Uniti d'America. Nel Delaware il canale è diventato un punto di riferimento e un confine culturale significativo, considerato una divisione tra la parte settentrionale urbanizzata dello Stato e la parte meridionale rurale, e delimita un limite settentrionale non ufficiale alla penisola di Delmarva.

The Chesapeake & Delaware Canal (C&D Canal) is a 14-mile (22.5 km)-long, 450-foot (137.2 m)-wide and 35-foot (10.7 m)-deep ship canal that connects the Delaware River with the Chesapeake Bay in the states of Delaware and Maryland in the United States. In the mid‑17th century, mapmaker Augustine Herman observed that these great bodies of water were separated only by a narrow strip of land. In 1764, a survey of possible water routes across the Delmarva Peninsula was made, but little action followed. The idea was raised again in 1788 by regional business leaders, including noted Philadelphians Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush. Despite the beginnings of a commercial venture in 1802—coincident with Canal Mania in England and Wales—it wasn't until 1829 before the C&D Canal Company could, at last, announce the waterway "open for business". Its construction cost of $3.5 million (equivalent to $89.1 million in 2021) made it one of the most expensive canal projects of its time. In the present era, the C&D Canal is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District. The project office in Chesapeake City, Maryland, is also the site of the C&D Canal Museum and Bethel Bridge Lighthouse. The canal saves approximately 300 miles on the route between Wilmington or Philadelphia on the Delaware River and Baltimore on Chesapeake Bay, avoiding a course around the Delmarva Peninsula. The canal is itself a significant landmark and cultural boundary for the state of Delaware, considered a divide between the urbanized northern portion of the state and the rural southern portion known locally as "Lower Delaware", and demarcates an unofficial northern limit to the Delmarva Peninsula.

Il permet en particulier de réduire le trajet entre Philadelphie et Baltimore de cinq cents kilomètres, et facilite grandement l'accès à ce dernier port. Imaginée dès le XVIIe siècle, sa construction ne commence toutefois qu'en 1824. Un premier canal à écluses ouvre en 1829. Près d'un siècle après l'inauguration, le Gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis rachète le canal et en confie la propriété, la gestion, mais aussi la refonte intégrale, au corps des ingénieurs de l'armée des États-Unis. Le nouvel ouvrage, intégralement au niveau de la mer, plus profond et plus large, ouvre en mai 1927. Les concepteurs du nouveau canal ayant prévu un possible élargissement, plusieurs opérations d'agrandissement et de dragage sont menées jusque dans les années 1970.

Il canale C&D è di proprietà e gestito dal Corpo di ingegneri dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti, distretto di Filadelfia. La sede del progetto a Chesapeake City, nel Maryland, è anche il sito del C&D Canal Museum e del faro di Bethel Bridge. Il canale consente di risparmiare circa 300 miglia sulla rotta tra Wilmington e Baltimora, e circa lo stesso su quella tra Filadelfia e Baltimora, evitando un giro intorno alla penisola inferiore del Delaware. Nel Delaware il canale è diventato un punto di riferimento e un confine culturale significativo, considerato una divisione tra la parte settentrionale urbanizzata dello Stato e la parte meridionale rurale, e delimita un limite settentrionale non ufficiale alla penisola di Delmarva.
