The Pag Bridge ({{langx|hr|Paški most}}) is the bridge that connects the island of Pag to the Croatian mainland. It is a {{convert|301|meter}} long, {{convert|9|meter}} wide bridge whose {{convert|201|meter}} long arch rises {{convert|35|meter}} above an Adriatic Sea strait called Ljubačka Vrata.{{sfn|Zadarski list|2008}} It was opened on 17 November 1968, and it transformed life on the island of Pag to be able to function more as a peninsula.{{sfn|Zadarski list|2008}}

The bridge was built by the local company Mostogradnja, designed by civil engineer Ilija Stojadinović, who also designed the nearby Šibenik Bridge.{{sfn|Zadarski list|2008}} The location of the bridge near Velebit causes the bridge to endure strong gusts of wind, the bora, and during the construction the wind speed was 8 on the Beaufort scale for a period of four months.{{sfn|Zadarski list|2008}} In a 2019 spring storm, the top wind speed on the bridge was {{convert|198|km/h}}.{{sfn|DHMZ|2019}}
