Thorne and Hatfield Moors Peat Canals were a series of canals in South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire England which were used to carry cut peat from Thorne and Hatfield Moors to points where it could be processed or exported. There were two phases to the canals the first of which lasted from the 1630s until the 1830s when coal imported on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal reduced the demand for peat as a fuel.
