Yarm Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Tees at Yarm in North Yorkshire, England. The bridge was constructed in the fifteenth century and represents an important example of medieval bridge engineering in the north of England. Built of stone with multiple arches, it served as a crucial river crossing on the route between Durham and the north, facilitating both trade and communication across the Tees valley. The bridge has been substantially rebuilt and repaired over subsequent centuries, though its medieval foundations and basic structural form have been retained, making it a significant surviving example of late medieval infrastructure.
