The Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in São Paulo, Brazil over the Pinheiros River, opened in May 2008. The bridge is 138 metres (450 ft) tall, and connects Marginal Pinheiros to Jornalista Roberto Marinho Avenue.

The bridge deck is unusual due to its form, which is similar to an "X", crossing at the tower.

It is the only bridge in the world that has two curved tracks supported by a single concrete mast.
