The A19 Tees Viaduct or Tees Flyover is a three-lane dual carriageway road bridge in the North East of England carrying the main A19 trunk road north-south across the River Tees. It is situated between Middlesbrough and borough of Stockton-on-Tees just north of the A19's interchange with the A66 trunk road. The Teesdale Way long-distance footpath, the main Thornaby-Middlesbrough railway line and the B6541 (Old A66/A67, Stockton Road) pass under the bridge on the southern bank of the Tees.

The bridge was opened in 1975 and now carries some 70,000 vehicles a day.cite web |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-138276508.html |title=Changes slowed traffic |accessdate=2008-08-13 |author= |publisher=HighBeam Research ] There are concerns that the capacity of the road is being exceeded at peak times.cite web |url=http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:8KjJsLJVLDkJ:www.darlington.gov.uk/PublicMinutes/Council/July%252021%25202005/Item%252011%2520Appendix%2520Chapter%25201.pdf+%22Tees+Flyover%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=59&gl=uk |title=Draft Darlington Local Transport Plan 2006-2011 |accessdate=2008-08-13 |author= |publisher= ]
