The Memorial Bridge is a bascule bridge over the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand, connecting the districts of Phra Nakhon and Thonburi.
The bridge opened on 6 April 1932 by King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Chakri Dynasty and the foundation of Bangkok. The name is more commonly shortened as Saphan Phut Bridge or Buddha Bridge (meaning: Bridge of Buddha).

Construction of the bridge was started on 3 December 1929.
