The Merrill P. Barber Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that spans the Indian River intercostals waterway in Indian River County, Florida. The bridge was built by Odebrecht Contractors of Florida, Inc. and was completed in 1995. A fishing pier is constructed below the bridge on the east side.

The bridge has a total length of 3834 feet with a main span of 100 feet. The vertical clearance is 65 ft.

The Florida Department of Transportation number is 880087.

The bridge replaced the old Barber Bridge, built in 1951, which was concrete and had a steel bascule span. This bridge was in constant state of disrepair and was removed, barged out to sea and became a reef. The steel span was purchased by Disney and is in Orlando at the Walt Disney World theme park.
