Henley Bridge is a road bridge built in 1786 over the River Thames, between Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire, and Remenham, in Berkshire. The bridge has five elliptical stone arches, and links Hart Street in Henley with White Hill (designated the A4130) in Remenham. It crosses the Thames on the reach between Hambleden Lock and Marsh Lock, carrying the Thames Path across the river. It is a Grade I listed building.
