This is a list of crossings of the Delaware River from its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware and the splitting of the river into two branches at the village of Hancock, New York. From there, the river continues as the East Branch and the West Branch. Crossings along the river include three ferries, 37 automobile bridges and 12 railroad bridges. No tunnels or dams exist along the river.
