Lotus Bridge traditional Chinese: 蓮花大橋; simplified Chinese: 莲花大桥; pinyin: Liánhuā Dàqiáo; Jyutping: lin4 faa1 daai6 kiu4) is a cross-border bridge linking the Cotai reclamation area of Macau with Hengqin Island in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China (PRC). The bridge is the road crossing between mainland China and Macau. This border crossing is open between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

The Lotus Bridge is located about 8 km (5 mi) west of the Macau International Airport. The bridge has three lanes in each direction, and follows Macau's rule of the road of driving on the left. The approach roads to the bridge on the mainland Chinese side have an unusual arrangement to facilitate switching traffic to driving on the right in mainland China.
