Dell Bridge is a footbridge in Port Sunlight, Wirral, England. It is a Grade II listed building.^[1]

The bridge was built in sandstone in 1894 for Lever Brothers in their model village of Port Sunlight and was designed by the Chester architects' firm of Douglas & Fordham. It carries a pedestrian walkway over a landscaped hollow which had been formed from a former tidal inlet.^[2] It is a saddle-back bridge with a parabolic arch. The keystones are carved with masks, one of a Jacobean man, the other of a Restoration man. Above these are plaques, that to the east bears an inscription; that to the west a sundial. The bridge is supported by buttresses, and at each end is a canted projection with decorated panels. There are benches by the walkway.^[1] Originally there were ball finials on the bridge, but these are no longer present.^[2]
