Over Bridge is a single arch stone bridge spanning the West Channel of the River Severn near Gloucester. It links Over to Alney Island. Built by Thomas Telford between 1825 and 1830, it remained in use for traffic until 1974.

Today it is a pedestrian-only bridge, and is maintained by English Heritage. Road traffic on the A40 crosses the Severn on a new bridge alongside and upstream of it.

This is the last bridge over the Severn before the Severn Crossings, and the most downstream free crossing.
