Ballybofey and Stranorlar Bridge (marked on older maps as Ballybofey Bridge) is a bridge on the N15, over the River Finn in County Donegal. The town on the north and south side of the bridge is Ballybofey on the south-west side and Stranorlar on the north-east side .

The bridge carries two traffic lanes with a narrow pedestrian footpath on the downstream side. A modern footbridge has been added alongside the upstream side of the bridge opened on 19th November 2018[1], replacing a narrow footpath on that side of the road.

The bridge is believed to have been built to replace an earlier one on the site, which featured on older maps, such as Molls in 1714.
