The Moray Bridge (right) beside its twin, the Sea Island Bridge (left).

Moray Bridge, originally christened 'The Middle-arm Swing Bridge' in October 1957, is a low-level one-way swing bridge in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. It connects Grant McConachie Way on Sea Island, where the Vancouver International Airport is located, with Sea Island Way on Lulu Island. The bridge is also called the Moray Channel Bridge, and the swing section is 58 metres long.

The bridge handles eastbound traffic coming from Sea Island. It was a two-way bridge until the completion of the nearby Sea Island Bridge, which handles traffic towards Sea Island.

The bridge passes over the Middle Arm of the Fraser River (in a section referred to as the Moray Channel) and was previously frequently called the Middle Arm Bridge, a name now used by a Skytrain bridge.
