Foundry Bridge is a grade II listed stone and wrought iron bridge over the River Wensum in Norwich, England, carrying Prince of Wales Road, and linking Norwich railway station to the city centre. There have been three different bridge structures on the site. The first, completed in 1811, was made of timber and stone. This was replaced by a cast-iron bridge in 1844, and the current bridge was constructed in 1886.
