Cocken Bridge is a steel road bridge carrying a local lane over the River Wear in County Durham.
This is the only road bridge between Chester-le-Street and Durham. This is a quiet stretch of the river amid pleasant countryside and near Low Cocken Farm to the east. A short way upstream are Finchale Priory and the Finchale Bridge.
