Landacre Bridge carries Landacre Lane across the River Barle near Withypool in the English county of Somerset. It has been scheduled as an ancient monument and Grade II* listed building.[1][2]

The stone bridge has five arches each with a span of 9 feet (2.7 m).[3] It was built in the late medieval period with the first documentary evidence being from 1610.[4] Restoration work was undertaken in 1875,[2] and again following damage during flooding in 1952.[5]
