Ingles Ferry is a historic tavern near the city of Radford in Pulaski County, Virginia, Virginia, United States.

William and Mary Ingles began developing a farm on the eastern side of the New River a few years after Mary's capture by Shawnee Indians and subsequent escape in 1755. Around 1762, William obtained a license to operate a ferry at the site of the current tavern.

There were a number of instances when Indians attacked the farm and ferry.

Thomas Ingles, grandson of William and Mary Draper Ingles, built a bridge across the New River at Ingles Ferry in 1840. Although the first bridge across the river, it was destroyed during the Civil War.
