James Joyce Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, joining the south quays to Blackhall Place on the north side.

Designed by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge was opened on June 16, 2003 (Bloomsday). The bridge is named for the famous Dublin author James Joyce. Joyce's short story "The Dead" is set in Number 15 Usher's Island, the house facing the bridge on the south side.
