{{Coord|51.178|-2.211|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}Shearwater (or Shear Water) is a man-made freshwater lake near Crockerton village, about {{Convert|2+1/4|mi|km}} southwest of the town of Warminster in Wiltshire, England. The lake is formed from a tributary of the River Wylye.^[1]

Part of the Longleat Estate, the lake is surrounded by mature woodland and is popular with anglers, walkers, swimmers, and cyclists. It is about 650 yards long. There is a tea-room at Bargate Cottage, which is only open in the summer months.^[2]

The Shearwater Sailing Club has a boathouse and a variety of dinghies on the lake, the largest being sixteen feet (4.88 meters) in length.^[3]
