'''Appleford Railway Bridge''' carries the Cherwell Valley railway line from [[Didcot]] to [[Oxford]] across the [[River Thames]] near the village of [[Appleford-on-Thames]]. It crosses the Thames on the reach between [[Clifton Lock]] and [[Culham Lock]]. The bridge was under construction in December 1843.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Thames Highway: Volume II Locks and Weirs |author= Thacker, Fred.

<br />
The line crosses the Thames three times, firstly by means of the Appleford bridge between Appleford in [[Berkshire]] and [[Culham]] in [[Oxfordshire]]. The [[Nuneham Railway Bridge]] takes the railway back into Berkshire at [[Radley]], before crossing once again into Oxfordshire at [[Oxford]].<br />
