The Mystic Bridge Historic District (also known as Lower Mystic or Mistick) is a historic district on U.S. 1 and CT 27 in the Stonington side of the village of Mystic, Connecticut. The district represents the core of the early settlement of that name on the east bank of the Mystic River. It extends from Washington Street in the south to the Mystic Seaport Museum in the north (whose grounds and floating vessels are included in the district), and from the river (where it includes the 1924 lift bridge) in the west to Denison and Greenmanville Avenues (Connecticut Route 27) on the east. The district is significant as a well-preserved shipbuilding and maritime village of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
