Lockport is a small unincorporated community in Manitoba, Canada. It is located 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the city of Winnipeg along the Red River. The community is split between the Rural Municipalities of St. Andrews (west of the river) and St. Clements (east of the river).
The Red River Floodway rejoins the Red River just down river from Lockport. Lockport is also a popular angling location.
Lockport Provincial Park is located on the east bank of the river, where archeological studies have found evidence of human activity for 3,000 years.
