Lockport is both a city and the town that surrounds it in Niagara County, New York, United States. Lockport is a northern suburb of Buffalo. The city is the Niagara county seat; as of the 2020 census, Lockport had a population of 20,876.

Its name derives from a set of Erie Canal locks (Lock Numbers 34 and 35) within the city that were built to allow canal barges to traverse the 60-foot natural drop (18 m) of the Niagara Escarpment. It is part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area.
