The Scharnebeck twin ship lift is a 38-metre boat lift in Scharnebeck, northeast of Lüneburg, in the District of Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is on the Elbe Lateral Canal, which connects the Elbe and the Mittellandkanal , and is one of two constructions on the canal that overcomes the height difference between the canal endpoints, the other being a 23-metre lock further south at Uelzen.
The Scharnebeck twin ship lift was built in 1974 and was at that time the largest ship lift in the world. The first ship passed through the lift on 5 December 1975. There is a museum at the site.
