There are hundreds of canals in Amsterdam, but I am going to assume that you're inquiring about what is referred to as the "canal ring" or grachtengordel" which is comprised of 4 nearly concentric canals that ring the city center (oldest part of Amsterdam). The inner most/first canal is known as the Singel. It is followed by the Herengracht (Gentleman's Canal), the Kaisergracht (The Kaiser's Canal), and the Prinsengracht (The Prince's Canal). The Brouwersgracht (The Brewer's Canal) is also one of the more historic canals in Amsterdam, as well.
