Mohakhali Flyover (Bengali: মহাখালী উড়ালসেতু) is an overpass located at Mohakhali in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Upon its completion in November 2004, it was the first flyover to open to traffic in Bangladesh. Although the construction of Khilgaon flyover was started first, Mohakhali flyover was completed earlier and inaugurated before Khilgaon flyover, making Mohakhali the country's first flyover.

Construction of the Mohakhali flyover began in December 2001 and was opened to traffic in November 2004. The length of this flyover is 1.12 km built with the help of 19 strong pillars. There is a 7.5 m wide road for vehicular movement and a 0.6 m footpath on both sides. The flyover took about three years to complete at a cost of about 114 crore taka.
