The Alderman Proctor's Drinking Fountain (grid reference ST566738) is a historic building on Clifton Down, Bristol, England.

The city of Bristol began supplying municipal drinking water in 1858. To inform the public about the new water supply, Robert Lang made a proposal though the Bristol Times that public drinking fountains be constructed. Lang began the "Fountain Fund" in January 1859 with a donation of one hundred pounds. By 1906, there were more than 40 public drinking fountains throughout the city.
