This is a list of bridges, tunnels, and other crossings of the Fraser River in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It includes both functional crossings and historic crossings which no longer exist, and lists them in sequence from the South Arm of the Fraser River at the Strait of Georgia upstream to its source. Listed separately on this page are the crossings on the Fraser River's North and Middle Arms.
