The Stampetta Bridge (Slovene: Štampetov most, German: Stampetta-Viaduct) is a railroad viaduct south of Vrhnika, Slovenia. It is named after the engineer that built it.

The Stampetta Bridge is originally a brick and stone structure that was built in 1856 as part of the Austrian Southern Railway. During the Second World War, the bridge was badly damaged. It was first damaged in 1941, but repaired by Italian forces. Sabotage attacks were later carried out by Partisan forces in October 1943, June 1944, and September 1944 in order to disrupt German supply lines. The bridge was repaired from 1945 to 1946.
