The Pump House (grid reference ST571723) is a historic public house situated in Hotwells on Bristol Harbour, Bristol, England.

The building was constructed around 1870 by Thomas Howard to house a hydraulic pump that powered bridges and lock gates around the harbour.[1][2] It was replaced by the current Hydraulic engine house in the 1880s[3] and is now a public house and restaurant.[4] The chef, Toby Gritten, won the Best Chef award at the Bristol Good Food Awards in 2013.[5]

It is a grade II listed building.[6]
