Bridge of Lyon is a Bronze Age standing stone located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 340 metres south-east of Bridge of Lyon itself.

The stone survives as a substantial upright monolith, preserving evidence of the landscape use and social practices of its period. Such standing stones in Perthshire form part of a wider distribution of Bronze Age monuments across Scotland and testify to the persistence of monumental stone-setting traditions in the north-eastern regions during later prehistory.
