Petőfi híd or Petőfi Bridge (named after Sándor Petőfi, old name is "Horthy Miklós Bridge", named after governor Horthy Miklós) is a bridge in Budapest, connecting Pest and Buda across the Danube. It is the second southernmost public bridge in Budapest.

Its two ends are

The bridge was built between 1933-1937, according to the plans of Pál Álgyai Hubert. It is 514 m in length (along with the sections leading up) and 25.6 m in width.
