Dunkeld Bridge is a seven-arch bridge crossing the River Tay at Dunkeld, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It carries the pedestrian and vehicle traffic of Bridge Street (the A923) and connects the parishes of Dunkeld and Dowally to the north and Little Dunkeld to the south. A Category A listed structure, it is 685 feet (209 m) long, 26.5 feet (8 m) wide and 54 feet (16 m) high. Its middle arch is 90 feet (27 m) wide, two others are 84 feet (26 m), two more are 74 feet (23 m) and the land-arches are 20 feet (6 m). The pontage was abolished in 1879.

The bridge was built between 1805 and 1809 by Thomas Telford. It cost £33,978.
