The railway bridge at Gellik is a four-part bridge over the Albert Canal in Gellik, in the municipality of Lanaken, Belgium. The bridge is part of railway line 20 Hasselt - Maastricht.
The bridge was built during the construction of the canal in the 1930s and, with a wingspan of 112.75 metres, is the longest vierendeel bridge in Belgium. Although the bridge contains one track, the pillars are designed for the construction of a double track. Since the closure of the line in 1992, the bridge has not been used. The bridge was supposed to be demolished due to the widening of the canal but was saved from destruction by paper manufacturer Sappi who hoped to use the line for freight transport in the future.
