The Ridgacre Branch is a canal branch of the Wednesbury Old Canal part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations in the West Midlands England. It opened in 1828 to serve collieries and iron works and was disused by the 1960s. Except for its branches and a small section at the eastern end which have been filled in most of it is still in water but it is not navigable as a low-level bridge carrying the Black Country New Road spans the entrance.
