O'Brien's Bridge or O'Briensbridge, is a village in east County Clare, Ireland, on the west bank of the River Shannon. On the east side of the bridge is the village of Montpelier, Co. Limerick. The first bridge across the river here was built in 1506 by Turlough O'Brien, first Earl of Thomond and his brother, the Bishop of Killaloe. Originally built with wood, the bridge was burned down in 1510. After the bridge was destroyed again in 1537, it was rebuilt as a 12-arch stone bridge which was replaced around 1750, partially replaced in 1842 and modified for navigation in the 1920s.
