Linton Bridge carries the minor road that links Collingham and Linton over the River Wharfe near Wetherby in West Yorkshire, England.

The Grade II listed bridge was built out of rock-faced stone in the early to mid-19th century. Its parapet, terminating in square piers, was renewed later that century. It has three basket arches and rounded cutwaters.{{NHLE|desc=Linton Bridge|num=1225848 |accessdate=14 January 2016}}

The bridge was closed on 27 December 2015 after flood water, in the aftermath of Storm Eva, caused a pier to settle, cracking the carriageway and damaging its parapet.{{cite news |title=Repairs to flood-damaged Linton Bridge progressing well |url=https://news.leeds.gov.uk/repairs-to-flood-damaged-linton-bridge-progressing-well/ |accessdate=11 January 2020 |work=Leeds.gov.uk |language=en}} The closest road bridge linking the villages is Wetherby Bridge. The bridge reopened on 2 September 2017 after repairs costing £5.1 million. It was one of more than 100 bridges that were damaged in the aftermath of the storm.{{cite web |title= Flood-damaged bridge over River Wharfe reopens |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-41124108 |publisher=The BBC |date = 2 September 2017|accessdate= 4 September 2017}}
