Pont d'Arcole is a bridge across the River Seine in Paris. The present bridge dates back to 1854. It was designed according to the plans of retired engineer Alphonse Oudry. At the time of its completion Pont d'Arcole was the first unsupported bridge across the Seine to be made entirely of wrought iron.

The Pont d'Arcole was initially called Passerelle de Grève, but was renamed to commemorate the Battle of the Bridge of Arcole, where Napolean defeated the Austrians, in 1796.
