The Sheepwash Channel is a navigable canal in the city of Oxford , England , and connects the Thames to the west and Castle Mill Stream to the east. To the north are Cripley Meadow and Fiddler's Island . To the south are Osney Island and Botley Road.

The Cherwell Valley Line and Cotswold Line cross the canal north of Oxford Railway Station on the Sheepwash Channel Railway Bridge . A little east of it was the Rewley Road Swing Bridge , a swing bridge for the former Buckinghamshire Railway Line of the London and North Western Railway , which served Oxford Rewley Road station, at the site of today's Saïd Business School . The Rewley Road Bridge also crosses the Sheepwash Channel.

The Isis Lock is just north of the east end of the Sheepwash Channel and connects Castle Mill Stream and the Oxford Canal. At the western end there is a footbridge over the canal, over which the Thames Path leads.
