The Göhren Viaduct is a railway bridge on the Neukieritzsch-Chemnitz railway line in the Wechselburg district of Göhren in the Saxon district of Mittelsachsen.
The Göhren Viaduct is, along with the Elstertal Bridge and the Göltzschtal Bridge, one of the most impressive German bridges from the early days of railway construction. It spans the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde including the Muldental Railway with a height of 68 meters, partly on two floors.
The length is 297 m[1], originally 512 m with 12 (originally 21) openings at the top, the largest clear width of an arch is 16 m. The masonry has a volume of 55,514 m³. By filling the arches at the ends of the viaduct, the bridge was shortened to 297 m during renovation work between 1982 and 1986.

The foundation stone was laid on May 27, 1869, and the bridge was completed in June 1871. The construction costs of the bridge amounted to 1.2 million thalers (3.6 million marks).
