Andrei Șaguna Bridge (Romanian: Podul Andrei Șaguna), formerly Michael the Brave Bridge, is the name of a bridge in the western Romanian city of Timișoara. It crosses the Bega River at Sarmizegetusa Square and is one of three bridges in Fabric district. Until 1919, it was known as Malom-téri híd, then for five years as Podul din Piața Morii (Mill Market Bridge). In both cases, the name was derived from the former name of Sarmizegetusa Square.
