The Öland Bridge (Swedish: Ölandsbron) is a road bridge in Sweden that spans the Kalmar Strait, between Jutnabben in Kalmar on the mainland and Möllstorp in Algutsrum parish near Färjestaden on Öland in the Baltic Sea.

It is a 6,072-metre (3¾ mile) long beam bridge with a clear bridge width of 13 metres (43'). Maximum height 41.69 metres (136'9"), minimum height 6.65 metres (21'10"). The bridge is built of reinforced concrete in 155 spans, including the high bridge section in 6 spans of 130 metres (430'), and has a characteristic hump at its western end which was created to provide a vertical clearance of 36 metres (120') for shipping. The Öland Bridge is one of the longest in all of Europe (the longest one until completion of Vasco da Gama Bridge in 1998) and currently Sweden's longest bridge, if one only compares the bridge sections that are on Swedish territory (the Öresund Bridge, which is longer, is partly built on Danish territory).
