Oceanport Draw is railroad moveable bridge over the Oceanport Creek (MP 8.4), a tributary of the Shrewsbury River, in Oceanport in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. It is owned and operated by New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJT).

It became property of Conrail in 1976.[2] It is identified as the Oceanport Creek Bridge (ID#2041) by the New Jersey's state historic preservation office (SHPO; April 4, 1984).[3]
