Colin P Witter Lock is a minor waterways place on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) between Offenham (16 miles and 2½ furlongs and 8 locks to the west) and Royal Shakespeare Theatre (2¾ furlongs to the northeast).

The nearest place in the direction of Offenham is Seven Meadows Footbridge; 1½ furlongs away.

The nearest place in the direction of Royal Shakespeare Theatre is Colin P Witter Lock Weir Entrance (Channel leading to the Weir); ¼ furlongs away.

This is the Colin P Witter lock on the River Avon at Stratford On Avon. It is the farthest lock upstream on the river.

The river is referred to as the Stratford Avon to distinguish it from other navigable river Avons such as the Bristol Avon.

The river was navigable to Stratford from the river Severn at Tewkesbury in the late 1630s. The Upper Avon (Evesham to Stratford) fell foul of the railways and fell into disuse after 1875. It was finally restored and reopened by HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1974.

Nearly all the locks are named after benefactors who helped either financially or through volunteering during the restoration.

All the locks are double width locks and there are 17 of them in the 45 ½ miles from Tewkesbury to Alveston
