The Prinsengracht (Prince's Canal) is one of the main canals in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Most of the canal houses along it were built during the Dutch Golden Age of the United Provinces in the 17th century AD.

Interesting sights along the Prinsengracht include the Noorderkerk (Northern Church), the Noordermarkt (Northern Market), the Anne Frank house, the Westerkerk (Western Church, Amsterdam's tallest church) with the Homomonument (Gay Monument).
