Eggner's Ferry Bridge is a bridge in Trigg and Marshall County in the U.S. state of Kentucky.

The bridge opened on March 25, 1932, before Kentucky Lake was flooded. On July 10, 1943, officials shut the bridge down for five months to build new pilings and raise the structure to make room for Kentucky Lake. A ferry was established to cross the Tennessee River while the bridge was closed.

A photo exists from the ribbon cutting ceremony after the bridge was raised in 1943-44. Pictured in the middle is Kentucky Governor Simeon S. Willis.
