thumb|250px|Riksbron viewed from west with the Riksdag|Parliament Building to the right. thumb|Kayakers, streams, and admirers at Riksbron in September 2006. Riksbron (Swedish: "The National Bridge" or "The State Bridge") is an arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden, leading from Drottninggatan on Norrmalm over to Riksgatan on Helgeandsholmen.
The name is derived from the bridge's proximity to several buildings of national importance, including Riksdagen, the Parliament Building; Rosenbad, the Prime Minister's Office and the Government Chancellery; and the Sager House, official residence of the Prime Minister.
