Goring and Streatley Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the River Thames in England. It connects the villages of Goring-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and Streatley in Berkshire. The bridge is close to Goring Lock.

The current bridge was built in 1923 and has two parts. The western part goes from Streatley to an island in the river, and the eastern part goes from the island to Goring. The bridge has wooden supports holding up a metal road surface.

Before the current bridge, a flat wooden bridge was built in 1837. Before that, people used a ferry to cross. Unfortunately, in 1674, the ferry turned over and many people lost their lives. The paths Thames Path and The Ridgeway also cross the river on this bridge.
