Bingley Three Rise Locks is a staircase of three locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Bingley, West Yorkshire, England. The locks are a Grade II* listed building. The canal was planned by James Brindley and authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1768. They were designed by John Longbotham and consist of a staircase flight – the lower gate of one lock forming the upper gate of the next lock.

In 1985 the locks were designated Grade II* listed status. They are built with stone retaining walls with steps to enable access for those opening the lock gates. There are overflow channels in the top two chambers, that run into the by-wash that flows alongside. with full replacement of the gates taking place in December 2015. Hand-crafted English oak gates made at Stanley Ferry in Wakefield and weighing were swung into place on the locks in a £3.5 million restoration programme.
