The Kincardine Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Firth of Forth from Falkirk council area to Kincardine, Fife, Scotland. The bridge was constructed between 1932 and 1936, to a design by Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners, Consulting Engineers, and Architect, Donald Watson.

It first opened to traffic on 29 October 1936. Following a final opening on the 31 January 1988, the bridge was permanently closed, rendering it a fixed structure.
