Shikoku Saburo Bridge is a bridge in Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku that spans the Yoshino River. It joins Ojin-cho on the north of the river to Fudouhigashi-cho on the south of the river. The Bridge is 910.5 metres in length and 14 metres in width, with a two-lane highway running atop. The bridge was opened to the public in 1998.

The name is taken from the Saburo name, which is a popular name for third born sons in Japan. The Yoshino River is regarded as one of the three great rivers in Japan, hence the name Saburo.
