The Wörmlitz railway bridge is a railway bridge about four kilometers south of the city center of Halle (Saale).

The segment arch bridge, opened in 1865, crosses the Halle–Hann railway line. Münden over the Saale. It is 264 m long and consists of ten masonry arches of the same design with a span of 15 m. Five arches cross the river as the main bridge. There is also a bridge arch for the way to Pfingstanger on the Wörmlitz side and four arches as a flood bridge on the Passdorfer Wiesen near Schlettau, today part of Angersdorf. Together with the Angersdorf♁⊙ railway bridge, it ensures a large free cross-section in the embankment of the railway line over the Passatdorfer Wiesen, so that the Saale can flow unhindered even at high tide.

During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht blew up the bridge in 1945 to prevent the advance of American troops on Halle. After the war, the two destroyed arches were replaced by reinforced concrete ones.
