The Infante Dom Henrique Bridge, also known as Infante Bridge is a road bridge linking Vila Nova de Gaia in Porto, over Douro River in Portugal.

Named for Infante Dom Henrique, born in Oporto, is the latest and, according to many, the most slender bridge that connects Porto and Gaia. It was built to replace the upper deck of the Luis I Bridge, meanwhile converted to use the "Yellow Line" (Hospital of São João/Santo Ovídio) Metro do Porto.
