Willington Dene Viaduct (or simply Willington Viaduct) is a railway bridge at Wallsend, near Newcastle upon Tyne, in north-eastern England. Its seven arches were built in timber in 1839 and later replaced with wrought iron in a near-identical pattern. It is a Grade II listed building and now carries the Tyne and Wear Metro. Its construction is nearly identical to the nearby Ouseburn Viaduct.
