'''Eysey Footbridge''' is a footbridge across the [[River Thames]] in England, at [[Latton, Wiltshire#Eysey|Eysey]], just below [[Cricklade]], [[Wiltshire]]. It is one of the first bridges at the upper end of the [[Thames Path]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Thames Path - Cricklade to Lechlade|url=http://www.thames-path.org.uk/thames_cricklade_lechlade.html|access-date=2021-12-19|website=www.thames-path.org.uk}}</ref>

The bridge is to the south of Eysey which is in modern local demography, after the departure of agricultural labourers' tied cottages, synonymous with Eysey Manor: a grand house and mixed farm.

East of here the river separates the [[Civil parishes in England|civil parishes]] of Cricklade and [[Latton, Wiltshire|Latton]] (to the north);<ref>{{Cite web|title=Map of Latton civil parish|url=https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10406523/boundary|access-date=19 December 2021|website=A Vision of Britain through Time|publisher=University of Portsmouth}}</ref> but the Church of England parish of Cricklade spans both banks.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cricklade parish|url=https://www.achurchnearyou.com/search/?lat=51.64&lon=-1.833|access-date=2021-12-19|website=A Church Near You|language=en}}</ref> About 500 metres to the east of the south-east bank are fields of [[Castle Eaton]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Castle Eaton parish|url=https://www.achurchnearyou.com/search/?lat=51.64&lon=-1.82|access-date=2021-12-19|website=A Church Near You|language=en}}</ref> The [[River Key|Key]] joins the Thames upstream of the bridge.
