The Meriç Bridge, also known as the Yeni Köprü (New Bridge) or Mecidiye Bridge, is a historic Ottoman arch bridge spanning the Meriç River in Edirne, Turkey. Construction began under Sultan Mahmud II and was completed in 1843 under his successor Abdülmecid I. The 263-metre-long structure, measuring 7 metres in width, features twelve arches and exemplifies Ottoman architectural tradition. It originally carried the state road D.100, connecting the Pazarkule border gate through Karaağaç to Edirne, until its function was superseded by the Dr. Mehmet Müezzinoğlu Bridge.
