The Olmsted Locks and Dam is a locks and concrete dam on the Ohio River at river mile 964.4.

The locks are located about 17 miles upstream from the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers at Olmsted, Illinois. The project is operational while the removal of Locks and Dams 52 and 53 should be completed around 2020.
