Marion Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Mhira) (2001 pop.: 1711) is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

The community is named for the eponymous bridge that crosses the Mira River, Marion Bridge being approximately midway between the river's source in Grand Mira and its discharge point at Mira Gut. The current concrete highway bridge was constructed in 1982 as a replacement for an older bridge, which collapsed after an accident involving a snow plow.

The area is a setting for the 2002 film Marion Bridge.
