布魯克林大橋（英語：Brooklyn Bridge），原稱為紐約與布魯克林大橋（英語：New York and Brooklyn Bridge）或東河大橋（英語：East River Bridge），是美國最老的懸索橋之一，建於1883年，其1,825公尺（5,988英尺）[1]長的橋面橫跨紐約東河連接美國紐約州紐約市的曼哈頓與布魯克林。完工時是當時世界上主跨最長的懸索橋，以及美國第一座使用鋼絲索而非鐵鏈的懸索橋（最早的鋼絲索懸索橋是法國於1823年由Marc Seguin建造的Passerelle de Saint-Antoine行人步行天橋）。布魯克林大橋這個名字來源於1867年1月25日寫給《布魯克林鷹報》的一封信中，[2] 並於1915年正式由市政府採納。布魯克林大橋啟用後，它已成為紐約市天際線不可或缺的一部分，在1964年成為了美國國家歷史地標[3][4][5]。1972年入選國際土木工程歷史古蹟[6]。

The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge is a 1972 book about the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge written by popular historian David McCullough. It provides a history of the engineering that went into the building of the bridge as well as the toils John A. Roebling, the designer of the bridge, went through with his son Washington Roebling to bring the bridge to its completion.[1] The book went on to win two awards in 1973; the Certificate of Merit Municipal Art Society, NY, and the New York Diamond Jubilee Award.[2]
The documentary film, Brooklyn Bridge, released in 1981 by Ken Burns, Roger Sherman, Buddy Squires, and Amy Stechler drew inspiration from McCullough's work. He was also chosen to be the narrator for the film.[3][4]
