Bawtry Wharf was a small Medieval port in the town of Bawtry, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.[note 1] The port operated from a wharf on the River Idle, a small body of water that flowed eastwards inland from Bawtry to the River Trent, and was navigable to sailing ships. Bawtry Wharf flourished as a port from the 12th century until the middle of the 19th century. Whilst the port was in a decline by the early 19th century, the building of a railway viaduct near the town necessitated diverting the River Idle which isolated the port from the main river stem, and the site silted up after losing its water.
Daniel Defoe described Bawtry port as "the centre of exportation for all of the country."
