The Richmond Bridge is the oldest heritage-listed, convict-built, bridge located on the B31 in Richmond, 25 kilometres north of Hobart in Tasmania.

---

The foundation stone for the Richmond Bridge was laid on 11 December 1823, and construction continued using convict labour until completion in 1825. The bridge was originally named Bigge's Bridge after Royal Commissioner John Thomas Bigge, who recognised the need for the bridge in 1820.
