Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States.

Horseshoe Bend is located {{convert|5|mi|km}} downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about {{convert|4|mi|km}} southwest of Page.[3]

It is accessible via hiking a {{convert|1.5|mi|km|adj=on}} round trip from U.S. Route 89. Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above.[5]

The overlook is {{convert|4200|ft|m}} above sea level, and the Colorado River is at {{convert|3200|ft|m}} above sea level, making it a {{convert|1000|ft|m|adj=on}} drop.[5]

The rock walls of Horseshoe Bend contain hematite, platinum, garnet, and other minerals.[5]

By 2018 references to the location on social media had caused the number of visitors to increase significantly.[8]
