Mylor Bridge is a hamlet in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom with a population of about 1000. It is about 5 km north of Falmouth as the crow flies but about 8 km by road. It lies at the head of Mylor Creek, an arm of Carrick Roads. It has a post office, newsagent, grocery store, fishmonger, an excellent butcher, a pub ( the Lemon Arms ), a dental surgery and Mylor Bridge junior school. It has a church in the nearby village of Mylor Harbour (St. Mylor, from which the settlement takes its name) whose origins have been traced back at least 1200 years, and as such is one of the oldest churches in the county.

The village is a part of Mylor Civil Parish, the Mylor and Flushing electoral ward for Cornwall County Council purposes, and the Falmouth and Camborne Parliament electoral constituency (although it will be changing from next election to Falmouth and Truro).
