Canexus LP is a Canadian chemical manufacturer, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Canexus is today owned partially by its predecessor Nexen Inc, and partially by the Canexus Income Fund. The Canexus Income Fund was created in 2005 for the purpose of purchasing the chemicals division of Nexen, which went on to become Canexus LP.

Canexus primarily manufactures and markets Sodium Chlorate and Chlor-alkali in North and South America.
