The old Rewley Road Swing Bridge with the newer Sheepwash Channel Railway Bridge behind over the Sheepwash Channel.

Rewley Road Swing Bridge is a disused railway swing bridge over Sheepwash Channel in west Oxford, England.[1] To the north is Fiddler's Island and to the south are Osney Island and the Botley Road.

The swing bridge was for the former Buckinghamshire Railway line of London and North Western Railway that used to serve the Oxford Rewley Road railway station, which was on the site of the Saïd Business School.[2][3] It is close to Rewley Road Bridge to the east and Sheepwash Channel Railway Bridge to the west, which also cross Sheepwash Channel.[1] The northern side of the bridge is on Fiddler's Island
