The Lune Aqueduct is an aqueduct that carries the Lancaster Canal over the River Lune in the east of Lancaster, Lancashire in England.

The aqueduct was built in 1794-1797 by John Rennie senior. The building spans a height of 18.6 m with five arches, which were built of brick on a total length of 202.4 m of the river. In the trough the cement pozzolana was added that made it possible that the concrete has been under water. The construction should be completed strictly before the onset of winter and it was therefore worked towards the end of Bauzeut through the night, which helped that the costs were £ 2.6 48,000 times as high as the estimates, which prevented an aqueduct could be built on the southern end of the canal on the River Ribble. The Lune Aqueduct is a Grade I listed building.
