Soldier's Bridge is a former settlement in Lassen County, California, United States, located southeast of Susanville.
In the summer of 1860, First Lieutenant Hamilton from the San Francisco Presidio and fifty men built a bridge a quarter of a mile below what was then called the Tanner's Lane, hence the name. Soldier's Bridge was on the Nobles Emigrant Trail.
John Pine operated a store and post office at Soldier's Bridge from 1864 to 1867. The store and post office closed when Pine declared bankruptcy.
