The Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge (Luxembourgish: Groussherzogin-Charlotte-Bréck, French: Pont Grand-Duchesse Charlotte, German: Großherzogin-Charlotte-Brücke) is a bridge in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It carries the N51 across the Alzette, connecting the Avenue John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in Kirchberg, to Boulevard Robert Schuman, in Limpertsberg. The bridge is also known as the Red Bridge (Luxembourgish: Rout Bréck, German: Rote Brücke, French: Pont Rouge) on account of its distinctive red paintwork.

It is the main route connecting the city centre, Ville Haute, to Kirchberg, the site of the city's European Union institutions and many of its tourist attractions.
