Hart's Weir Footbridge is a single span wooden footbridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It is situated on the reach above Northmoor Lock, the nearest village being Appleton, Oxfordshire to the south.

The bridge was built in 1879 on the site of a weir that was removed a year later. Then known as Hart’s Weir, it had previously been Ridge’s, Langley’s, Cock’s, Rudge’s, and Butler’s Weir.[1] Sixteen years later Northmoor Lock was built downstream.
