Clifton Lock is a lock on River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It is located south of the village of Clifton Hampden and north of Long Wittenham. It is at the end of the Clifton Cut, which bypasses the river to the north of Long Wittenham. Also nearby to the north, a little further downstream, is the historic Barley Mow public house, as mentioned in the book, Three Men in a Boat.
The first discussions about creating a lock here were started in 1793. It was finally completed in 1822 by the Thames Navigation Commissioners.
The current lock is an electrically operated hydraulic pound lock, although it still looks much the same as it did in the 19th century.
The next lock downstream is Day's Lock at Little Wittenham. The next lock upstream is Culham Lock at Culham.
