The Grand Canal is a major canal in central Maricopa County, Arizona in the United States, that aided in the early agricultural development of Phoenix, now running through many of the historic neighborhoods in central Phoenix. The canal now serves to feed municipal water systems in the Valley of the Sun as well as neighborhoods that practice flood irrigation for landscaping.
