The Luokou Yellow River Railway Bridge (Chinese: 泺口黄河铁路桥; pinyin: Luòkǒu Huánghé Tiělù Qiáo) is a railway bridge across the Yellow River in Jinan, Shandong, China, built in the early 20th century. The bridge represented a major engineering achievement that was unique in the region at the time. The bridge was of great strategic importance during the first half of the 20th century and was repeatedly damaged and repaired as a result.
