Shiplake Railway Bridge carries the Henley Branch Line to Henley-on-Thames, England across the River Thames at Shiplake. It crosses the river just downstream of Shiplake Lock on the reach above Marsh Lock.

The current bridge was built in 1897. It consists of wrought-iron plate girders supported by cast-iron cylinders filled with concrete. It replaced an earlier timber bridge built in 1857.
