The Boyne Bridge was a bridge in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was built in 1863 over the Belfast–Lisburn railway line, and was rebuilt in 1936. It was scheduled for demolition starting on 12 October 2024, to be replaced by a road at ground level, which is set to take one year to complete.

The older Saltwater Bridge stood nearby, on roughly the same alignment. This had been built in the 1640s over the Blackstaff River. Tradition holds that King William III crossed it in 1690 on his way to the Battle of the Boyne.
