The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the main channel of the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. It was the largest suspension bridge in the world from 1849 until 1851.

The Wheeling bridge was the first to span the Ohio River, and was an important link on the National Road.
