The Springfield Bridge is a historic bowstring arch bridge, spanning Cadron Creek in rural Faulkner County, Arkansas, United States. It is east of Springfield, and a short way south of the Springfield Road bridge. It is 188 feet (57 m) long, set on stone abutments, with tubular metal top chords that rise 15 feet (4.6 m) above the bottom chords. Built circa 1871–74, it is the oldest documented highway bridge in the state and its only documented bowstring arch bridge.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. In 2015, the Faulkner County Historical Society began a drive to relocate the bridge as part of a local trail network. The bridge has suffered from neglect due to its remote location as well as damage by fire and vandalism.
