Schlossbrücke () is a bridge in the central Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. Built between 1821 and 1824 according to plans designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was named after the nearby City Palace (Stadtschloss). The bridge marks the eastern end of the Unter den Linden boulevard.
The monumental figures on the three-arched bridge were created to commemorate the Wars of Liberation. They depict warriors and goddesses of victory and reference the statues of generals and reliefs of Victory at the Neue Wache. After the Second World War, the damaged bridge was restored, and the removed figures were reinstalled in 1983–1984.
