Omsund Bridge (Norwegian: Omsundbrua) is a bridge that crosses the Omsundet between the islands of Frei and Nordlandet, in the municipality of Kristiansund in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is actually made up of two bridges, since the main bridge does not span the entire strait. The main bridge crosses form Nordlandet to the islet of Rensvikholmen and then a smaller bridge completes the crossing to Frei.
Prior to the merger of the municipalities of Kristiansund and Frei on 1 January 2008, the bridges marked the border between the two municipalities. The original bridge was in use from 1940 until 1981. The second bridge is currently in use, and a third bridge is now in the planning stages. The bridge lies just south of the Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget.
