Kanie (蟹江町 Kanie-chō?) is a town located in Ama District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. As of May 2015, the town had an estimated population of 36,789 and a population density of 3320 persons per km². The total area was 11.09 square kilometres (4.28 sq mi).
The origin of the town's name comes from the once-plentiful crab (蟹 kani?) population.
Kanie Town was created with the establishment of the municipalities system on April 1, 1889. In October 2003, Kanie participated in discussions with regards to a possible merge with neighboring town of Yatomi and village of Jūshiyama. However, negotiations failed in 2004 and Kanie decided to remain as an independent municipality.
Kanie is located in the southwest Aichi Prefecture. All of the town is at sea level.
Kanie is primarily a regional commercial center and bedroom community for the Nagoya metropolis.
