Burgerbrug is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Schagen, and lies about 14 km north of Alkmaar.

Burgerbrug (originally Eenigenburgerbrug) was settled shortly after the surrounding area was drained in 1597. The village took its name from a bridge over the Groote Slot, located on the road to Eenigenburg. It is a cross-shaped settlement with one part following the Groote Sloot and another part following the road.
