The Glen Gardner Pony Pratt Truss Bridge is a historic pony Pratt truss bridge on School Street (formerly Mill Street) crossing the Spruce Run in Glen Gardner of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was designed by Francis C.

It is one of the few early examples of iron Pratt truss bridges remaining in the United States.[2] It was later documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1991.[3]
