The High Coast Bridge (in Swedish Högakustenbron) is a suspension bridge crossing the Ångermanälven river near Veda, on the border between the Härnösand and Kramfors municipalities in the province of Ångermanland in northern Sweden. The area is often referred to as The High Coast, hence its name. The bridge replaces Sandöbron, the old bridge across the river, in a new extension of the European route E4 (E4).

The total length is 1800 meters (5905 feet), the span is 1210 meters (3970 feet), and the column pillars are 180 meters (590 feet) tall. The bridge was constructed between 1993 and 1997 and was officially opened on December 1, 1997.
