De in 1883 gebouwde Brooklyn Bridge is een hangbrug in New York in de Verenigde Staten. Ze gaat over de East River en verbindt Brooklyn met Lower Manhattan, net als de Manhattan Bridge. De architecten waren John Roebling en zijn zoon Washington Roebling. De vrouw van Washington, Emily Warren Roebling, nam de feitelijke leiding over het afbouwen van de brug op zich toen haar man, slachtoffer van de caissonziekte, daartoe niet meer in staat was.
De brug is 1825 meter lang, en de grootste overspanning is 486 meter. Daardoor had de brug tot de bouw van de Williamsburg bridge in 1903 de langste overspanning ter wereld. In 2008 was het de 64e hangbrug ter wereld qua overspanning.
