The Canal de Montech (pronounced as /fr/) is an 11 km waterway in southwestern France connecting the Canal de Garonne in Montech and the Tarn River in Montauban.^[2] It is also known as the Montauban Branch (fr| l’embranchement de Montauban ).^[1]

A lock at Moissac also connects the Canal de Garonne to a lower section of the Tarn. A proposal exists to create a waterway ring, including the Canal de Montech, by restoring navigation to the stretch of the Tarn between Moissac and Montauban.^[3]
