Kew Railway Bridge, also beach -on- the-Green Bridge is a railway bridge over the River Thames in London between Kew and beach -on- the-Green, Chiswick. It lies on the North London Line, one operated by London Overground railway line that runs from Richmond to North Woolwich and thereby pass downtown north. The bridge is also used by the District line of the London Underground. Just north of Gunnersbury station to the south is the Kew Gardens station.

The 175 meter long bridge was designed by W. R. Galbraith planned and built by Brassey & Ogilvie. It consists of five each 35 -meter-long wrought iron lattice girder fields that lie on cast-iron columns.

On January 1, 1869, the bridge was opened by the London and South Western Railway. Since June 1, 1877 is also used by the District Line. The bridge is now in the possession of the rail infrastructure company Network Rail. They are two tracks of the bridge with both the third rail for the trains of the North London Line, as well as equipped with the fourth rail for London Underground trains.

The underside of the bridge occurs in a scene in the Doctor Who episode The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
