=== Former land bridges ===

* The [[Bass Strait#Discovery and exploration|Bassian Plain]], which linked [[Australia]] to [[Tasmania]]
* The [[Antarctic land bridge|Antarctic Land Bridge]], which connected South America, Antarctica, and Australia during the [[Late Cretaceous]] and Early [[Paleogene]]<ref>{{Cite journal |last=van den Ende |first=Conrad |last2=White |first2=Lloyd T. |last3=van Welzen |first3=Peter C. |date=2017-04-01 |title=The existence and break-up of the Antarctic land bridge as indicated by both amphi-Pacific distributions and tectonics |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1342937X16302829 |journal=Gondwana Research |volume=44 |pages=219–227 |doi=10.1016/j.gr.2016.12.006 |issn=1342-937X}}</ref>
* The [[Beringia|Bering Land Bridge]] (aka Beringia), which intermittently connected [[Alaska]] ([[Northern America]]) with [[Siberia]] ([[North Asia]]) as sea levels rose and fell under the effect of ice ages
* [[GAARlandia]], a hypothesized land bridge which potentially connected the [[Greater Antilles]] with South America during the [[Priabonian|late Eocene]] or [[Rupelian|early Oligocene]]
* [[Land bridges of Japan]], several land bridges which connected Japan to Russia and Korea at various times in history
* [[De Geer Land Bridge]], a route that connected [[Fennoscandia]] to northern [[Greenland]]
* [[Doggerland]], a former landmass in the southern [[North Sea]] which connected the island of [[Great Britain]] to [[continental Europe]] during the last ice age
* The [[Thule Land Bridge]], a now-vanished land bridge between the [[British Isles]] and [[Greenland]]
* Torres Strait land bridge, [[Sahul Shelf|Sahul]], between modern-day West Papua and Cape York
* [[Sundaland]], a 1,800,000 km<sup>2</sup> area which connected the islands of Southeast Asia at various points during the [[Pleistocene|last 2.6 million years]]

=== Current land bridges ===
*[[Adam's Bridge]] (also known as Rama Setu), connecting [[India]] and [[Sri Lanka]]
*The [[Isthmus of Panama]], whose appearance three million years ago allowed the [[Great American Biotic Interchange]] between [[North America]] and [[South America]]<ref name="Webb 2006" />
*The [[Sinai Peninsula]], linking [[Africa]] and [[Eurasia]]
