Molesey Lock is a lock on the River Thames in East Molesey, Surrey near the mouth of the River Mole on western edge of London, England. The lock is about 100 yards upstream of Hampton Court Bridge on the South side. It is immediately accessible from the main road (A3050).

The lock is 81.78 metres long, one of the longest on the river, Beside the lock there are rollers for the portage of small boats. Between the lock and the weir sits Ash Island.

The bill for the construction of Molesey Lock was passed by Parliament in 1812.
