The Tancarville Bridge (Pont de Tancarville in French) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Seine River and connects Tancarville (Seine-Maritime) and Marais-Vernier (Eure), near Le Havre.

The bridge was completed in 1959 at a cost of 9 billion francs. In the 1990s it was realized that the cables had corroded (as has beset the Forth Road Bridge) and the shoulders were crumbling (As was found First Severn Crossing). In 1996-99 both the cables and shoulders were successfully replaced.
