The '''Ponte Mosca''' is a historic bridge in [Turin](/source/Turin), region of [Piedmont](/source/Piedmont), Italy. It was the first stone bridge built in the city by the [Sabauda dynasty](/source/House_of_Savoy). The bridge was erected over the [Dora Riparia](/source/Dora_Riparia);<ref>{{cite web |title=PORTA PALAZZO: THE HISTORY |url=https://risorse.comune.torino.it/portapalazzo/eng/storia.htm |website=Comune di Torino |access-date=17 August 2025}}</ref> the corso Giulio Cesare enters the Aurora quarter, near Porta Palazzo, over this bridge.

The plan for a bridge over the Dora first was requested by Napoleon in 1807. But it became a reality in 1818, when an urban renewal plan was put forward that also demolished the walls and bastions of the city. The architect [Carlo Bernardo Mosca](/source/Carlo_Bernardo_Mosca) was commissioned a stone bridge to replace the earlier wood structure. Construction proceeded from 1823 to 1830. At inauguration, the {{convert|45|m|ft|adj=mid|-long|sp=us}} bridge was considered technologically advanced. It was renamed Mosca in 1868, a year after the architect's death.
