The Leidse Rijn is a canal in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands.
It was dug since the Middle Ages when the meandering old Rhine course silted up.
The Leidse Rijn has a length of 13 km. Towns along the Leidse Rijn are De Meern and Harmelen. While still in Utrecht city the Leidse Rijn crosses the Merwede Canal and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal.
It is the continuation of the Kromme Rijn through the moat system of Utrecht. The canal ends in Harmelen. There it connects to the Oude Rijn, which eventually flows into the North Sea at Katwijk aan Zee.
