Osney Footbridge is a iron bridge across the River Thames at Oxford in England. It is a pedestrian bridge on the reach above Iffley Lock.
The bridge, formerly known as "Gasworks Bridge", was constructed by the Oxford Gaslight and Coke Company in1882 for a short railway branch line connecting the gasworks with the main railway line at a junction just south of Osney Rail Bridge. It a solid example of Victorian industrial architecture and was built by assembling sections on the south bank and then floating them into position.
The gasworks have now been removed and the bridge is now a footbridge with no indication of its railway origins.
