New Railway Bridge (Serbian: Нови железнички мост, romanized: Novi železnički most) is a cable-stayed bridge over the Sava river in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Opened in 1979, it was the second railway bridge over the Sava in Belgrade after the Old Railway Bridge in 1884, and fifth in the row of six bridges which span the river in the urban section of the city.
It was the first railway bridge in Europe to use cable-stayed girder system, as this type of bridges was used only for the motorways until that point.
