Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge (Bengali: যমুনা বহুমুখী সেতু, romanizedJamuna Bahumukhee Setu), is a bridge built over the river Jamuna in Bangladesh. The bridge opened to traffic in June 1998. With a length of 4.8 kilometres, it is the second longest bridge of Bangladesh, Padma Bridge being the first. It connects Bhuapur on the Jamuna River's east bank to Sirajganj on its west bank. 90% of this bridge is under Tangail district and 10% under Sirajganj district. It was the 11th longest bridge in the world when constructed in 1998 and at present is the 6th longest bridge in South Asia. The Jamuna River, which it spans, is one of the three major rivers of Bangladesh, and the fifth largest in the world in discharge volume.

After a new rail bridge has been launched over river Jamuna, In August 2025, authorities have decided to remove the railway track on the Jamuna Bridge for creation of an additional 11 feet space on the bridge. The Bridges Division has planned to convert the additional space into roadways. The six engineering and technology universities are also involved in the process.
