Die Augustusbrücke ist eine Straßenbrücke über die Elbe in Dresden und verbindet die historischen Kerne der Altstadt und der Neustadt, die bis ins 16. Jahrhundert die selbstständige Stadt Altendresden war.
Ursprünglich war sie der größte Brückenbau des deutschen Hochmittelalters sowie eines der größten mittelalterlichen Verkehrsbauwerke Europas. Unter August dem Starken wurde die Brücke durch Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann grundlegend umgestaltet und zwischen 1907 und 1910 durch einen Neubau von Hermann Klette und Wilhelm Kreis ersetzt. Von 1949 bis 1990 trug sie den Namen Georgi-Dimitroff-Brücke.
Von der Brücke hat man einen wunfervollen Blick auf beide Seiten der Elbe.
