Radcot Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England just downstream of Radcot, Oxfordshire, on the southern bank.

The lock was built by the Thames Conservancy in 1892 to replace a flash lock.

The weir is on the other side of the lock island.

Access to the lock

The lock can be reached on foot from the southern end of Radcot Bridge, or by road on a longer route via Thrupp Turn.

Reach above the Lock

About halfway along is Radcot Bridge the oldest surviving bridge on the river. The is a considerable amount of mooring at the backwaters here.

The Thames Path, which is on the opposite side of the river from the lock, follows the northern bank to Grafton Lock.
