The Pivnichnyi Bridge ({{langx|uk|Північний міст}} {{IPA|uk|pʲiu̯ˈnʲit͡ʃnei̯ mʲist|}}) or Northern Bridge is a structure in Kyiv, Ukraine, built in 1976. It is a cable-stayed bridge, designed by the architect Mikhail Krasnoshtein (later, Mikhail Asianov) and engineer G. B. Fux. The beam of the main span is held by a cluster of steel ropes which are fixed to a {{convert|119|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} tall A-pylon.{{cite web|url=http://wek.kiev.ua/wiki/index.php/Московський_міст |title=Pivnichyi Bridge |work=Wiki-Encyclopedia Kyiv |publisher= |pages= |language=Ukrainian |archiveurl= |archivedate=}}

It is notable that as a result of Soviet-era state-sponsored anti-semitism, a non-Jewish architect from Kharkiv (A. V. Dobrovolsky) was brought in to take credit for the bridge's architecture just prior to the official opening of the bridge, and this remains the official record. This record forgery was approved by A. F. Bersheda, the Director of the Kyiv architecture bureau (KievSoyuzDorProekt) at the time.

Until February 2018 the bridge was named Moskovskyi Bridge ({{langx|uk|Московський міст}}) or Moscow Bridge.[https://kiev.unian.info/m/10017287-kyiv-s-moscow-bridge-renamed.html Kyiv's Moscow bridge renamed], UNIAN (22 February 2018) As part of Ukraine's current decommunization process the bridge was nominated to be renamed for almost a year prior to its new name.{{in lang|ru}} [http://kiev.segodnya.ua/kpower/v-kieve-ischeznut-stancii-metro-petrovka-i-lva-tolstogo-vse-podrobnosti-1014034.html In Kyiv, "disappear" metro station "Petrovka" and Tolstoy Street: all the details], Segodnya (19 April 2017)
