Weston Lock (grid reference ST725648) is a lock situated on the River Avon, on the western outskirts of Bath, England.

Weston cut is a man made channel, opened in 1727, for boats to approach and pass through Weston Lock, which created a island between the cut and the river weir, which became known as Dutch island after the owner of the brass mill established on the river side in the early 18th century.[1]
