Banana Bridge, officially Langton Street Bridge, is a footbridge in Bristol, England which crosses the New Cut. It is Grade II listed.

When constructed in 1883 between Langton Street and St. Luke's Road, the bridge was said to be a temporary route while the nearby Bedminster Bridge was rebuilt. Langton Street has since been lost to bombings in WW2.
