Grenville Channel is a strait on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, between Pitt Island and the mainland to the south of Prince Rupert.^[1] It is part of the Inside Passage shipping route, about 45 nautical miles (83 km; 52 mi) long and is 0.2 nautical miles (0.37 km; 0.23 mi) wide at its narrowest point.^[2]

The Grenville Channel Fault that forms the channel dates back to the Cretaceous Era.^[3] Both sides are mountainous and densely wooded,^[2] and a linear magnetic anomaly runs parallel to the channel south of 51"30'N.^[4]
