The Parry Channel ( 74°19′60″N, 93°0′0″W) is a natural waterway through the central Canadian Arctic Archipelago in the territory of Nunavut. It runs east to west, connecting Baffin Bay in the east with the Beaufort Sea in the west.[1] The channel separates the Queen Elizabeth Islands to the north from the rest of Nunavut.[2]

Parry Channel is named after Arctic explorer William Edward Parry.
