Elvanfoot Bridge carries the B7076 road over the young River Clyde to the north of Elvanfoot in Lanarkshire. It crosses beside the motorway bridge, the Elvanfoot Motorway Bridge carrying the A74(M).

It is a single span, sandstone bridge, built in the early 20th century, replacing the 19th century Telford Bridge which stood 60 yards downstream.
