Cincinnati Skywalk is a covered bridge in Hamilton County, Ohio, described in its record as elevated walkway system in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Ohio has 147 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 3 of them in Hamilton County.

It was built in 1971, in the postwar decades, making it the 70th oldest of the 75 in Ohio with a recorded construction date.

Status check, 2026-11: This is an elevated walkway system, not a covered bridge. Engineers considered the Skywalk complete in 1997, 26 years after the first segment connecting the Convention Center and Fountain Square was finished. Most of it has since been taken down, but a 2026 report says some segments survive, such as the Skywalk bridge above Walnut St connecting AT580 (left) with the Fifth Third Center. So it only partly stands. It stands at 39.1011° N, 84.5139° W.
