Ohashi Kannon-ji (御橋観音寺) is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan. Its honorary sangō prefix is Sekkyōzan (石橋山).
According to the temple story, Ohashi Kannon-ji was founded in the early 8th century by Gyōki, who traveled around Japan to preach to commoners.
The temple precincts are a natural stone bridge made by erosion of tertiary sandstone with two lines. It is one of the Hirado Hakkei (平戸八景) eight landscapes within the former territory of Hirado Domain.
