Ballievey Bridge spans the River Bann at Ballievey, near Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland.

The original suspension bridge was from a design by James Dredge, Sr. Destroyed in 1988 under the weight of a lorry, it was the only one within the Dredge's Ulster group which was not a footbridge.{{cite book|last=Cox|first=Ronald C.|title=Civil Engineering Heritage: Ireland|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nfTy6VSUDqMC&pg=PA185|year=1998|publisher=Thomas Telford|isbn=978-0-7277-2627-8|page=185}} A replacement bridge was erected thereafter.
