The Johan van Valckenburgh Bridge is a bridge in Hamburg, built in 1962 and named in 1991 after Johan van Valckenburgh, the engineer of Hamburg's fortifications. It leads through the Planten un Blomen park from the tropical greenhouses, across the remains of the former moat (dug between 1615 and 1626), to the memorial plaque for the bridge's namesake.

The bridge was designed by architect Bernhard Hermkes, built in 1962, and renovated in 1989. The structure is a listed building.
