The Quincy Rail Bridge carries rail lines across the Mississippi River between West Quincy, Missouri and Quincy, Illinois, USA. Originally constructed for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad which is now BNSF Railway.

From the 1950s until 1971 it served the Kansas City Zephyr and American Royal Zephyr daily passemger trains between Chicago and Kansas City. It served Amtrak's Illinois Zephyr from Chicago to West Quincy, MO from 1971 to 1993.

Since the Great Flood of 1993 Amtrak "Illinois Zephyr" and "Carl Sandburg" service terminates at the Quincy station. This Mississippi river crossing does serve as a backup route should the Fort Madison Toll Bridge crossing be unavailable.
