Old Ford Lower Lock is a lock on the Hertford Union Canal, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The lock is to the south of Victoria Park, off Wick Road and beyond the Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach Road bridge, to the east.

The tail of the lock is at the same level as the Lee Navigation and joins that canal below Old Ford Lock. The head of the lock proceeds west to Old Ford Middle Lock, to the south of Victoria Park – then via Old Ford Upper Lock to join the Regent's Canal at the Hertford Union Junction between Mile End Lock and Old Ford Lock - on the Regent's Canal.

The public house, now the "Top of the Morning", but then the Mitford Castle, by the ramp to the canal, on Wick Road, was where Thomas Briggs – the first victim of a railway murder – was taken to die from his wounds, in July 1864 (see Hackney Wick).
