Catterick Bridge is both a bridge across the River Swale in North Yorkshire, England, about 1 mile north of Catterick, and a hamlet at the south end of the bridge.
The bridge carries the A6136 road (once the Great North Road). It was originally built in 1422, rebuilt probably in the late 16th century and widened in 1792. It is now a Grade II* listed building.
The hamlet includes Catterick Racecourse, the Catterick Bridge Hotel and a few houses. There has been a coaching inn at this site since at least the 16th century. The present hotel building dates from the 17th century, but has been much altered. It is a Grade II listed building.
Charles Macintosh, the inventor of the Mackintosh raincoat, Sir John Beresford, 1st Baronet and William Beresford, 1st Viscount Beresford were educated at Catterick Bridge.
The Catterick Sunday Market, held at Catterick Racecourse, is the largest Sunday Market in the North of England.
