Skeppsholmsbron is in central Stockholm, Sweden, connecting Blasieholmen to Skeppsholmen.

The bridge, 165 metres long and 9.5 metres wide, consists of a 5.5 metre wide roadway flanked by 2 metre pathways, and has 5 arches.

It was the first forged iron bridge to be constructed in Sweden, manufactured by Motala Verkstad in 1861.The first bridge to connect Skeppsholmen to the rest of the city was a wooden bridge on poles, simply called Holmbron and provided with a drawbridge, constructed by the admiralty in 1638-1640 when the camp of the Swedish Navy was relocated from Blasieholmen to Skeppsholmen. In 1822 the bridge was damaged in a fire, and subsequently replaced by a temporary pontoon bridge.
