This List of navigation authorities in the United Kingdom is a list of links to any navigation authority in the United Kingdom, relating to any navigable waterway, aqueduct, canal, navigation, river or port.

These include:

  • narrow canals, broad canals, or ship canals
  • rivers which have been made navigable
  • the Broads
  • the navigable drains of The Fens.

Examples of navigation authorities

The "Big Three"

  • Canal and River Trust – charity replacing British Waterways in managing the majority of the canals and many navigable rivers
  • Environment Agency – environmental regulatory body, manages its waterways as part of its water management obligations.
  • Broads Authority – has status similar to other British national parks but alone amongst them also exercises a navigation function. The "Sandford Principle" as applied in other national parks does not apply here.
