Тещин міст - це народна назва пішохідного мосту над Військовим узвозом в Одесі, який з'єднує Приморський бульвар із бульваром Жванецького.

За легендою, міст збудовано в 1969 році за наказом першого секретаря Одеського обкому Компартії Михайла Синиці, щоб йому було зручніше добиратися з бульвару через яр у гості до тещі.

Міст відчутно вібрує під ногами при великому скупченні народу. За традицією, молодята залишають на поручнях Тещиного мосту замки, що символізують міцність шлюбу.

Поруч влаштований міні-заповідник "Куточок старої Одеси", в якому зібрано різні елементи міського декору.
