This is a list of current bridges and other crossings of the River Ouse in Yorkshire, and are listed from Ouse Gill Beck downstream to the river's mouth. The River Ouse is listed on mapping as starting where the Ouse Gill Beck enters the River Ure, just south of the village of Great Ouseburn,. The Ouse joins the River Trent at Trent Falls, and becomes The Humber, travelling 57 mi between Great Ouseburn and Trent Falls. Thereafter, there is only one other bridge, the Humber Bridge, before the river flows into the sea.

Great Ouseburn to river mouth
A Roman bridge in York is believed to have existed until the 12th century when it was supposed to have collapsed under the weight of the throng of people who had gathered to welcome Archbishop William in 1254. The location of the bridge was between the foot of Tanner Row across to the Guildhall.

The former Hull and Barnsley Railway's formation crossed the River Ouse on a swing ridge at Long Drax. The line closed in 1968, and the bridge was dismantled in 1976.

Ferries
The River Ouse has had plenty of ferry crossings in place of bridges. These crossing have lent their names to some of the locations along the river; Boothferry Bridge now occupies the site of the ferry across the river to the hamlet of Booth. Until 1792, when the bridge at Selby was built, the Ouse Bridge in York was the only crossing of the River Ouse, the other way of getting across the river was by a ferry.

Ferries were located at (upstream to downstream): Linton, Nun Monkton, Poppleton, Clifton, Central York (three; ) Bishopthorpe, Naburn, Acaster Selby, Cawood, Newhay, Long Drax, Booth, Skelton, Swinefleet, Saltmarshe and Whitgift.
