The Kennet and Avon Canal Trust is a registered charity and waterway society concerned with the protection and maintenance of the Kennet and Avon Canal throughout Wiltshire and Berkshire.

The organisation was formed in 1951 as the Kennet and Avon Canal Association, with the goal of restoring the derelict canal. In 1962 the organisation became a charitable trust. After a campaign raising over £2,000,000, the canal was fully restored and reopened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990. In 2013, the trust was presented with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
