Pulteney Bridge is a historic bridge located in the city of Bath, England. The bridge was completed in 1774 and crosses the River Avon in the city center. It was designed by Robert Adam, who was influenced by the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy.

The bridge is named after William Pulteney, who was an important figure in the development of the city of Bath. It is one of only four bridges in the world that has shops built into it on both sides, which were originally designed to provide additional revenue for the bridge's maintenance.

The bridge is a Grade I listed building and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the city. It is also a popular tourist attraction and a frequent subject of photographs and paintings.

Pulteney Bridge has been featured in several films and television shows, including the 2012 adaptation of Les Misérables and the BBC television series Sherlock. The bridge is also a popular location for weddings and other events.
