The Perlis–Langkawi Bridge (Malay: Jambatan Perlis–Langkawi) is a proposed bridge in Malaysia that would connect Kuala Perlis, in Perlis state in mainland Peninsula Malaysia to Langkawi Island in Kedah state. It would be constructed by Kumho Engineering and Construction, a Korean company. Construction would begin on November 6, 2018 and be finished by 2022 to mark the 65th anniversary of Malaysian independence. The bridge would be the longest bridge in Malaysia.
