Bunbury Bridge was a single-track, timber railway bridge in East Perth in Western Australia. The first Bunbury Bridge was opened in 2 May 1898. Between 1930 and 1932 a temporary replacement bridge was built.

After 59 years of use, the temporary structure was closed when a new concrete railway bridge came into operation in September 1991. The old timber bridge was demolished in early 1996. The bridge crossed the Swan River near Claise Brook and was built for passenger and freight traffic to Bunbury, as well as being part of the Armadale railway line.

The 1991 concrete dual-track Goongoonup Bridge was built as part of the electrification of Perth's suburban railways.
