Troutbeck Bridge is a village in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England. It is situated 1 mile (2 km) north of Windermere on the A591 road running through the Lake District and was historically in the county of Westmorland. The main secondary school for Windermere and Ambleside, The Lakes School, is located in the village, as is the postal sorting office for the area. Troutbeck Bridge takes its name from where the road crosses the Trout Beck.
The community is served by a petrol station and convenience store, a Mexican restaurant, a secondary school and a gym.
The Calgarth Estate was a wartime housing estate built to house the workers of the nearby flying boat factory at White Cross Bay. By the end of the second world war the workers had returned to their homes throughout Britain and in 1945 three hundred child survivors of the Holocaust arrived from Eastern Europe to the Calgarth Estate to begin new lives. The site is now occupied by The Lakes School.
The A591 road passes through Troutbeck Bridge, with Windermere to the south and Ambleside to the north. The nearest railway station is Windermere, 1.5 miles (2 km) away, which is well connected to the village by local bus services.
