Thanlyin Bridge ({{langx|my|သန်လျင် တံတား}}), also spelled Thanhlyin Bridge or Than Hl Yin Bridge, is a bridge that links the cities of Thanlyin and Yangon in Myanmar. The bridge crosses the 1-km wide Bago river, and is situated about 42 km northeast from the river's confluence with Yangon river. The bridge has a single rail track in the middle, surrounded by a motorcycle roadway on each side.

Highway 6 goes over the bridge and connects Yangon with the Thilawa port and Thanlyin Industrial Zone.{{cite web|title=Yangon Infrastructure|accessdate=2009-09-14|publisher=Yangon City Development Committee|url=http://www.yangoncity.com.mm/maps/structure.asp|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120073648/http://www.yangoncity.com.mm/maps/structure.asp|archivedate=2008-11-20|url-status=dead}}

The bridge will soon be joined by the Thanlyin Bridge 2, which has been under construction since the mid-2000s with assistance from Japan.{{cite news |title=Yangon-Thanlyin Bridge (2) Project 66 per cent complete |url=http://myanmargeneva.org/NLM2006/eng/7jul/n060709.pdf |work=The New Light of Myanmar |date=2006-07-09 |accessdate=2009-09-14 |format=PDF |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727105618/http://myanmargeneva.org/NLM2006/eng/7jul/n060709.pdf |archivedate=July 27, 2011 }}
