Eponym
  
Astronaut-named feature

Bridge is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in the Hadley–Apennine region.

Bridge crater is located within Hadley Rille, and its ejecta indeed forms a bridge of sorts across the rille. It lies at the base of Mons Hadley Delta and is approximately 4 km southwest of the Apollo 15 landing point. The larger St. George crater is to the southeast and the smaller Elbow crater is due east.

The name of the crater was formally adopted by the IAU in 1973.
