William Dargan Bridge, opened in 2004, is a 162 metre cable-stayed bridge in Dundrum, Dublin, Ireland. It carries the Green Line of the Luas over the busy Taney junction, of the R112 and R117 regional roads as well as the little-known Slang River. The bridge connects rail alignments which were formerly part of the Harcourt Street railway line.

The name commemorates William Dargan. The engineer who designed the Harcourt Street railway line, which much of the Green Line now follows.

Roughan & O’Donovan provided full engineering design services for the bridge.
