The Kharaba Bridge is a Roman bridge in the village of Kharaba in the fertile Hauran region of Syria, close to the city of Bosra (ancient Bostra).

The bridge crosses the Wadi Zeidi, a tributary of the Yarmuk, 3.5 km northwest of Bosra.{{harvnb|O’Connor|1993|p=131}} It has three semi-circular arches, each 3.8 m clear, that rest on 2.4 m wide piers with a height of 2.5 m to the springing level. The bridge width is 4.52 m.{{harvnb|Kissel|Stoll|2000|p=115}} At the eastern side exists a small squarish floodway which is supported by a column with capital.{{harvnb|Kissel|Stoll|2000|p=117, Fig. 12}} The vaults and the covering are predominantly built with black greenish basalt ashlar; overall, the ancient structure is still in a fairly good condition.

There are at least two more Roman bridges crossing the Wadi Zeidi: the Gemarrin Bridge and one at At-Tayyibeh.{{harvnb|Kissel|Stoll|2000|p=110, Fig. 1b}}
