Leidsegracht is a transverse canal in Amsterdam-Centre that connects Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht and Lijnbaansgracht and flows into Singelgracht at Marnixstraat.
The Leidsegracht was part of the Explanation of Amsterdam and marked the boundary between the first and second phase of the construction of the ring of canals. Between 1615 and 1658 the Leidsegracht was the southern boundary of the city. The canal got its name in 1658 and is named after the city of Leiden.
Almost all the canal-side buildings and former warehouses on this canal are now houses.
