Sheffield Basin, also known as Victoria Quays, sits at the head of the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal near Sheffield city centre.

The basin dates from 1819, when the canal opened to connect with the River Don Navigation, allowing boats to reach the heart of Sheffield for the first time. The 3. 9-mile (6. 3 km) canal runs from here to Tinsley, where it meets the River Don Navigation.

Water is not fed by a reservoir but is pumped directly from the River Don. From the basin, a towpath runs the length of the canal toward Tinsley, while the Five Weirs Walk follows the River Don itself to the same destination.

The basin was historically a busy transhipment point and remains a notable inland waterway access point in South Yorkshire.
