Europabrücke, or Europe's bridge, is a 777 meters long bridge spanning the 657 meters Wipp valley just south of Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria. The A13 Brenner Autobahn (and European route E45) passes over this bridge, above the Sill River, forming part of the main route from western Austria to Italy via South Tirol across the Alps. It is also part of the main route between southeastern Germany and northern Italy.
The longest span between pillars is 198 meters built between 1959 and 1963, it was once Europe's highest bridge, standing 192 meters high above the ground, until it was topped out by France's Millau Viaduct on 14 December 2004.

歐羅巴大橋或稱歐洲之橋，是一座長達777公尺的橋梁，橫跨奧地利蒂羅爾州因斯布魯克市以南657公尺的維普河谷。布倫納的A13號高速公路（歐洲E45號道路）借道此橋越過錫爾河，形成西起奧地利經由蒂羅爾州南部穿越阿爾卑斯山脈到達義大利的主要路線，也同是由德國東南部通往義大利北部之主要途徑。
橋柱之間最長的跨度是198公尺，建於1959年至1963年間，它聳立於192公尺的高空，曾譽為歐洲最高的橋梁，直到2004年12月14日才被法國的米洛高架橋超過。
