Percy Williams Bridgman, född 21 april 1882 i Cambridge, Massachusetts, död 20 augusti 1961, var en amerikansk fysiker som fick Nobelpriset i fysik 1946 för sina studier av hur höga tryck påverkar olika fysikaliska egenskaper. Han var den förste att konstruera en apparatur för att uppnå mer än 10 GPa. Bridgman skrev också om vetenskaplig metod och andra aspekter av vetenskapsfilosofi.
