Kisis Channel, also known as Buffalo Narrows channel and the Narrows, is a strait in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that connects Peter Pond Lake to Churchill Lake in the Churchill River drainage basin. The channel is in the Boreal Shield Ecozone with a surrounding landscape of boreal forest. The channel was used by Indigenous hunters as a bottleneck when hunting wood buffalo and was an important point on early fur trade and exploration routes. It runs through the community of Buffalo Narrows and is crossed by Highway 155.
