Canon's Marsh (sometimes written Canons Marsh) is an inner city area of Bristol, England. Canon's Marsh occupies low-lying land on the north side of the Floating Harbour, immediately to the west of the River Frome spur (St Augustine's Reach) of the harbour. Canon's Marsh includes Bordeaux Quay, Canon's Wharf, Hannover Quay, and Millennium Square, and is part of the area that has been branded "Harbourside".[1]

Formerly an industrial area, with busy quaysides, warehouses, railway transit sheds and one of the city's main gas works, Canon's Marsh was subject to urban regeneration beginning in the 1980s and completing in the 2010s. It is now a mixed use neighbourhood with residential and office developments alongside major leisure attractions.

Canons' Marsh borders Hotwells to the west, Clifton to the north, and the city centre to the north east. It is in the Hotwells and Harbourside electoral ward.
