Kazanka or Qazansu ( _ru. Казанка; _tt. Казансу|Qazansu) is a river in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, a left tributary of the Volga. It begins near the village of Bimeri in Arsk District and falls into the Kuybyshev Reservoir in Kazan, near the Kazan Kremlin. Another town on the Kazanka is Arsk and historical Iske Qazan. It is 142 km long. The main inflows are Iya, Kismes, Shimyakovka and Sula. Historically, the Bolaq channel flow to Kazanka, until it was separated by dam in 1957. The maximal discharge is 299 m³/s, the minimal mineralization 400-1000 mg/l. It has a "natural monument" statut in Tatarstan.

During the constructing of Kuybyshev Reservoir, the lowest part of Kazanka's valley was flooded. Part of riverbed was separated from the reservoir by damms, new riverbed was constructed. In 2008 new project was proposed, to sluice ground in the wide downstream, which is in fact a gulf of reservoir to build a business quarter there.

Kazanka divides Kazan on two equal parts. There are six bridges over Kazanka in the city, the most notable being Millennium Bridge.
