Avonmouth is a suburb of Bristol, England, at the mouth of the River Avon on its north bank and on the Bristol Channel. It is the location of a large port, Avonmouth Docks. The Royal Portbury Dock, part of the same complex, is on the other side of the Avon. Avonmouth is home to several large chemical manufacturing plants.
It lies on the M5 motorway, which crosses the Avon by the Avonmouth Bridge. The M49 motorway runs between the M5 near Avonmouth and the M4 motorway at the Second Severn Crossing. The old Severn Bridge and the M48 motorway are linked to Avonmouth by the A403.
