- Lennox Bridge, Parramatta
Lennox Bridge in Parramatta is a stone arch bridge that spans the Parramatta River, in Parramatta, Sydney, Australia. It was designed by David Lennox and constructed with convict labour over the period 1836 to 1839, making it one of the oldest bridges in Australia.
This was Lennox's third bridge, his first two being Lennox Bridge at Lapstone, completed in 1833, and the Lansvale bridge, completed in 1836.

The bridge carries Church Street, the main street of Parramatta.
Lennox bridge is on the site of the earliest documented crossing of the Parramatta River in the Parramatta area, dating from early colonial settlement. The current bridge is the third on, or adjacent to, the site.
