Dargan Bridge is the name of two railway bridges in Ireland, both commemorating William Dargan who was involved in bringing railways to many parts of Ireland.

The older of the two bridges, built in the 1990s, is a railway bridge in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This bridge spans the River Lagan and connects the railway lines to Larne and Derry (via Bleach Green) to those east Bangor and south to Newry and the Republic. It runs mostly parallel to the Lagan Bridge (opened 1995) carrying the M3 motorway across the Lagan.

The younger bridge, opened in 2004, is a cable-stayed bridge in Dundrum, Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. This carries the LUAS light rail line (Green Line) across a busy road junction. The bridge connects rail alignments formerly part of the Harcourt Street railway line.
