The Scalpay Bridge () is a road bridge over the Sound of Scalpay in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, connecting the island of Scalpay to Lewis and Harris, the largest island in Scotland. The crossing forms part of the A859.
The bridge replaced the ferry that traditionally went between Kyles Scalpay and Scalpay itself, crossing the Sound of Scalpay. The first person to cross the bridge was 103 year old Kirsty Morrison, at the time the oldest resident of Scalpay. However, it was officially opened in August 1998, when Prime Minister Tony Blair opened the bridge.
The bridge cost £6.4 million to build, and was in large part funded by the European Union.
