English Narrows (Spanish Angostura Inglesa) is a contracted passage in Messier Channel in the southwestern coast of Chile. Here it is only {{convert|200|yd|m}} wide, but it presents no great difficulty or danger (excepting to very long vessels) unless a vessel goes through with the wind and tide, which should never be attempted if the wind is strong. In these narrows the tide runs 6 knots at springs.
It is {{convert|11|mi|km|}} long, from Isla Moat Island to Paso del Indio.
