Sandwich Toll Bridge is a road bridge over the River Stour in Sandwich, Kent. It opened in 1755 on a site that had been a crossing for centuries, and has been part of the A256 road. Tolls were abolished in 1977.
A plaque on the bridge indicates there has been a tolled crossing in this rough location since 1127. The crossing forms part of a former turnpike road from Sandwich to the Isle of Thanet that has existed since the late 14th century. A customs house was built at the southern edge of the crossing during Edward IV's reign.
