The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company (LCAN) is an anthracite coal mining company headquartered in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, U.S., with operations in the Panther Creek Valley along U.S. Route 209 in the areas of Tamaqua, Coaldale, and Lansford. The closely held company was incorporated in 1988, taking the name of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, a prominent coal mining and shipping company first established in 1820 with the merger of "The Lehigh Coal Mining Company" and the "Lehigh Navigation Company", both of which operated in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania beginning in 1818, and once owned and opened up the whole area in which the LCAN now operates.
