The Replot Bridge (Replotbron in Swedish, Raippaluodon silta in Finnish) connects the island of Replot (Raippaluoto in Finnish) with the mainland of Finland in the Swedish-speaking Korsholm municipality (Mustasaari in Finnish), near the city Vaasa (Vasa in Swedish). It is 1045 metres long and the longest bridge of Finland. Two supporting pylons are both 82,5 meters high.

The bridge was inaugurated 27 August 1997 by the president of Finland Martti Ahtisaari.
