Otley Bridge is a stone bridge crossing the River Wharfe at Otley in West Yorkshire. The structure dates principally from the medieval period, with the current bridge largely constructed during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, though it may incorporate earlier masonry. The bridge comprises multiple arches of coursed stone and represents an important river crossing on a historically significant route through Wharfedale. It remains a notable example of post-medieval bridge engineering and continues to serve as a vital link across the river within the town.
