Kaneshie Market, market in Accra, Ghana

Kaneshie Market is a trading centre in Kaneshie, Accra, built in the 1970s and resembling Makola Market with stalls, shops and street vendors. It also serves as a transport hub where trotros and regional buses pick up and drop off passengers, and has vehicle services, fuel stations, supermarkets and pharmacies.

Kaneshie Market grew from a night trading spot lit by lamps, which gave the name Kaneshie, meaning "under the lamp". The market complex was built in the 1970s. During the 2015 Accra floods the market was submerged and operations were forced to shut down. A fire on the morning of Sunday 20 December 2020 destroyed a section of the central market, after which Accra's former mayor Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah carried out a rewiring exercise of the city's markets.

The name Kaneshie means "under the lamp", recalling the market's origin as a night trading spot. Traders sell yams, spices, smoked fish, fabrics and household goods across two levels, and the market queen, Madam Lydia Akor Akwei, speaks for the traders on sanitation and management matters.

The market is open daily from early morning until around 7 pm and can be reached on foot or by taxi and minibuses. Wednesdays and Saturdays are the busiest days, so visiting on other days tends to be more relaxed and parking is easier to find.

The market's name comes from its past as a trading spot under lanterns at night, with vendors working after sunset to escape the heat of the day. This nighttime tradition gives the market its particular character and sets it apart from other markets in the city.
