The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span (i.e., the length of suspended roadway between the bridge's towers). The length of the main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, often correlating with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

This is a list of the world's longest bridges that are more than 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) in length sorted by their full length above land and water. The main span is the longest span without any ground support.
List of longest suspension bridge spans; Self-anchored suspension bridge—Combining elements of a suspension bridge and a cable-stayed bridge. Simple suspension bridge—A modern implementation of the rope bridge using steel cables, although either the upper guardrail or lower footboard cables may be the main structural cables.
Cable-stayed bridges have the second-longest spans, after suspension bridges, of bridge types. They are practical for spans up to around 1 kilometre (0.6 mi). The Russky Bridge over the Eastern Bosphorus in Vladivostok, Russia, with its 1,104 metres (3,622 ft) span, has the longest span of any cable-stayed bridge, displacing the former record ...
Frederick IX Bridge spans the Guldborgsund strait between the islands of Falster and Lolland at Nykøbing Falster; Great Belt Bridge, between Halsskov on Zealand and Knudshoved on Funen, second longest section span of 1.6 km. Guldborgsund Bridge spans the northern end of the Guldborgsund, between the islands of Lolland and Falster
