Dongho Bridge (Korean: 동호대교) is a bridge over the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. It carries road traffic and Seoul Subway Line 3, and Oksu Station is located at the northern end of this bridge.

The Dongho bridge connects to Apgujeong neighborhood of Gangnam District to the border of Yongsan and Seongsu District.

Dongho Bridge is believed to be the bridge over the Han River with the fewest number of suicide attempts, because it is inaccessible to public transportation and because there is a high likelihood of falling to death while climbing it.[1] The bridge also has CCTV cameras installed at intervals of 80 to 110 meters.[2]
