Withybridge (or Withy Bridge) is a hamlet in the parish of Boddington near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Withy is an old English term for a willow tree. Curiously, a nearby modern residential street is called Elmbridge Court.

The 'bridge' of Withy Bridge is over the River Chelt, a small and pretty river which shares it's name with the nearby town. The river flows through the Domesday Book-mentioned Millhouse Farm at Withybridge.
