The Hakuchō Bridge (白鳥大橋, Hakuchō Ō-hashi) is a suspension bridge in Muroran, Hokkaido, Japan. Opened on 17 April 1998, it has a main span of 720 meters (2,360 ft). It is the first section of the Hakuchō Shindō that is signed as an alternate route of Japan National Route 37.^[1]

Several windmills line the bridge which provide lighting at night to the park golf link nearby. The winds are extremely high on the bridge, so pedestrians, bikes, and motorbikes are prohibited from crossing.
