Knaanic (also called Canaanic, Leshon Knaan or Judeo-Slavic) was a West Slavic Jewish language, formerly spoken in the Czech lands, now the Czech Republic. It became extinct in the Late Middle Ages. The name Knaanic applied mainly to Judeo-Czech, but also to other Judeo-Slavic languages.

The name comes from the unrelated ancient Canaan (Hebrew כנען "kəna‘an"). Similar to the case of the Hebrew name Tzarfath (biblical Zarephath) coming to be used as the name for France following the Roman expulsion of the Jews from Judæa, the reason for the use of the name Canaan for Slavic-speaking regions is not clear.
