Spey Viaduct is a former railway bridge which spans the mouth of the River Spey in northern Scotland. The line opened in 1886, closed to railway traffic in 1968, and has been used as a cycle and footpath since rail closure. The structure is listed as Category B with Historic Environment Scotland. The bridge was built on dry land, with the river diverted beneath it after completion, and it cost £40,000, which was around a seventh of the total cost of the Moray Coast Line. In December 2025, the viaduct partially collapsed into the river below.
