Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River near the town of Page in the US state of Arizona.
The meander is located slightly downstream of Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell, about 6 kilometres south of Page. An overlook is located 1.2 kilometres on foot (partly paved, partly unpaved) from U.S. Route 89, where the meander can be viewed.
