Kanis is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Woerden, and lies about 4 km north of Woerden.
The hamlet was first mentioned between 1839 and 1859 as "de Verkeerde Kanis herbg", and was the name of an inn. Kanis means basket with fish.[2] There is still a restaurant called De Kanis in the village, but it is not clear whether it is related to the original inn. In 1855, a Roman Catholic church was built in the village.[3]
