Eshima Ohashi Bridge (Japanese: 江島大橋) is a rigid-frame bridge in Japan that connects Matsue, Shimane Prefecture and Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture over Nakaumi lake. It was built from 1997 to 2004. It is the largest rigid-frame bridge in Japan and the third largest in the world. Images of the bridge have been widely circulated on the internet, owing to its seemingly steep nature when photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens, but in actuality the Shimane side has a gradient of 6.1% and Tottori side of 5.1%.

Eshima Ohashi Bridge replaced the previous drawbridge. Traffic was obstructed often by ships for about 7 to 8 minutes. Also large vehicles over 14 tons were not allowed on the drawbridge. The drawbridge saw 4,000 vehicles a day cross.
