The Jack Pesch Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge that crosses the Brisbane River. It is named in honour of Jack Pesch (c. 1917 – 2002), a cycling champion during the 1930s. He subsequently ran a bicycle shop in Petrie Terrace, Brisbane, until the mid-1990s, selling and servicing his own 'Rocket' cycles and cycle parts.

The bridge crosses the Indooroopilly Reach of the River, linking Chelmer and Indooroopilly.{{cite web |title=Indooroopilly Riverwalk - Indooroopilly |url=https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/traffic-and-transport/roads-infrastructure-and-bikeways/bikeway-and-pathway-projects/indooroopilly-indooroopilly-riverwalk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920083359/https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/traffic-and-transport/roads-infrastructure-and-bikeways/bikeway-and-pathway-projects/indooroopilly-indooroopilly-riverwalk |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 September 2020 |website=www.brisbane.qld.gov.au |access-date=10 November 2021 |language=en |date=5 August 2021 }} It is immediately adjacent to the Albert and Walter Taylor Bridges.{{cite news |last1=Stone |first1=Lucy |title=Two stages of Indooroopilly Riverwalk to be constructed at once |url=https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6000353/two-stages-of-indooroopilly-riverwalk-to-be-constructed-at-once/ |access-date=10 November 2021 |publisher=The Canberra Times |date=13 November 2018 |language=en-AU}}
