The Taunsa–Panjnad Link Canal (abbreviated TP Link Canal) is an inter-river canal in Punjab, Pakistan. It diverts water from the Indus River at Taunsa Barrage to the Chenab River and Panjnad Headworks systems for irrigation and balancing of flows between western and eastern rivers. The canal was built as part of the post-Indus Waters Treaty link-canal programme under the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).In 2025, the canal accounted for an estimated transfer of over 3,000 cusecs at its peak flow.
