The Kazan River is a Canadian Heritage River located in Nunavut, Canada.
The river headwaters are in northern Saskatchewan at Kasba Lake, and it flows north for about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) before emptying into Baker Lake, on the opposite side of the mouth of the Thelon River.
Along its course the river flows through several lakes, including Ennadai Lake and Yathkyed Lake, over the Kazan Falls (25 metres (82 ft)), down a red sandstone gorge and through both boreal forest and tundra.
It is the last section of the river, below Ennadai Lake, that is above the timber line and is designated a Canadian Heritage River.
