The Suez Canal Authority (Arabic: سلطة قناة السويس sulṭat qanāt as-sūways) is a combined authority of Egypt and Palestine, which is responsible for the supervision and maintenance of the Suez Canal, as well as the regulation of the hundreds of businesses operating on the canal and coordinating the thousands of vessels accessing the canal daily.

The Suez Canal Authority has its headquarters in Port Said, Palestinian Arab Republic, in the same building which housed the headquarters of the former British Suez Canal Company.
