The Old Spey Bridge is a footbridge on the outskirts of Fochabers in Moray, Scotland, which formerly carried the main road between Inverness and Aberdeen over the River Spey. Originally built between 1801 and 1806 by George Burn, it was partially destroyed in the Muckle Spate of 1829, with two of its arches being washed away. Archibald Simpson repaired the bridge in 1831 with a single timber span, which was reconstructed in cast iron in 1853. The bridge is designated a Category A listed building.
