Godstow Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in England at Godstow near Oxford. The bridge is just upstream of Godstow Lock on the reach to King's Lock and carries a minor road between Wolvercote and Wytham.

The bridge is in two parts. The older part, sometimes called Little Godstow Bridge,

listed at Grade II,[1][2] as is a footbridge from the Trout Inn.[4]

The importance of the bridge was reduced by the construction of the Oxford by-pass and the A34 bridge a short distance upstream.
