The Alex Fraser Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Fraser River in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A joint venture of Klohn Crippen Berger and Buckland & Taylor designed it, and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure owns it. Construction began in 1983, and the bridge opened on September 22, 1986.

The total length is 8,284 feet (2,525 meters), and the main span is 1,526 feet (465 meters). The bridge is built from steel and reinforced concrete.

It has seven lanes, including a reversible middle lane, plus shared sidewalks for pedestrians and cyclists. The article does not name an architectural style or a separate client beyond the ministry that owns it.
