The Iron Tram Bridge, Robertstown is an early example of a "railway" bridge. It crosses the River Cynon between Trecynon and Robertstown, Wales. It carried the Llwydcoed Tramroad ({{convert|4|ft|2|in|m}} gauge) which ran from Hirwaun to the canal head at Cwmbach, south east of Aberdare. It was built by the Aberdare Canal & Navigation Company in 1811, and was probably designed by George Overton.
Little remains of the tramroad but its route is now a footpath.{{r|ET}} The bridge is a scheduled monument and a Grade II listed building.{{r|CBridge}}
The bridge was declared unsafe and was completely removed for renovation. As of 2024, the bridge has reopened.
