Grafton Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England on the northern bank between Kelmscot and Radcot Oxfordshire.

The lock was built by the Thames Conservancy in 1896 to replace a flash lock called Hart's Weir.

The weir is on the other side of the island at the top end.

Grafton Lock Meadow is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Access to the lock

The lock can be reached on foot along the river or by road on a turning off Langley Lane which connects to the A4095.

Reach above the lock

On the southern bank the river passes Eaton Hastings. On the north bank is Kelmscott and Kelmscott Manor, the country retreat of William Morris. Further upstream the river is crossed by Eaton Footbridge.

The Thames Path follows the northern bank to Buscot Lock.
