Kriva Ćuprija (or the transl. Crooked Bridge) is a small stone bridge across the Radobolja river in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The bridge is oldest one arch bridge in Mostar, built in 1558 during the Ottoman rule. Its builder was the Ottoman architect Ćejvan Ketoda.[1]

It is located about thirty meters west of the Stari Most and represents its miniature version.[2] It connects the banks of Radobolje with the one semicircular arch of 8.56 m in diameter. The bridge is 4.15 m high, and it is approached by stone steps.[3]
