Bridgerule is a village in Devon, England, a mile from the border with Cornwall. The Tamar runs through it and frequently floods the High Street.

There is a 15th century church dedicated, as at Bridestowe, to Saint Bridget, who is commemorated with a statue. There are also several paintings and carvings within. The baptismal font is very old, dating to Saxon times.
