The '''Split Channel''' ({{langx|hr|Splitski kanal}}), is a [[Channel (geography)|channel]] in the [[Adriatic Sea]], off the coast of mainland [[Dalmatia]], defined by the southern shores of the island of [[Čiovo]], the northern shores of the island of [[Šolta]] and the western shores of the island of [[Brač]]. It is accessible from the [[open sea]] through the Drvenik Channel or Šolta Channel from the west, and through the [[Split Gates]] (''Splitska vrata'') straits—narrow passage between Šolta and Brač to the south of the Split Channel. To the east, the Split Channel is connected to the [[Brač Channel]]. All the access routes accommodate [[capesize]] ships.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia]]|url=http://www.hhi.hr/uploads/publications/PeljarI.pdf|format=PDF|page=224|language=Croatian|title=Peljar I.

The Split Channel and the Split Gates, named after the nearby city of [[Split (city)|Split]], are the most direct route from the international waters to the [[Port of Split]]. In the Split Gates lies [[Mrduja]] island, an [[islet]] notable for being the turning point of the local [[Mrduja Regatta]], an annual [[sailboat]] competition.

On the Brač side lies deep Milna bay and the village of [[Milna]]. On the Šolta side of the channel, there are no villages in the immediate vicinity.
