Prince Tomislav Bridge (Serbian: Мост краљевића Томислава, Most kraljevića Tomislava) was a road bridge on the Danube river in Novi Sad, current day Vojvodina, Serbia. The bridge was opened for traffic on 20 May 1928. The design was inspired by the Liberty Bridge in Budapest, Hungary. It was destroyed on 11 April 1941 by the Yugoslav army during the Invasion of Yugoslavia. The bridge was replaced by the Marshal Tito Bridge in 1945 and later Varadin Bridge in 2000.
