A sluice is a water channel that is controlled at its head by a gate (from Dutch word 'sluis'). The terms "sluice gate" and "slide gate" are used interchangeably in the water control industry.

A sluice gate is traditionally a wooden plate which slides in grooves in the sides of the channel. Sluice gates are commonly used to control water levels and flow rates in rivers and canals.
