The Avon Viaduct carries the railway over the River Avon at Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland.

The 442 yard 23 arch bridge was built in 1839-41 by John Miller, engineer for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.[1][2]

The viaduct straddles the border between the West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas, so has two Historic Environment Scotland listings.[2][3][4] The viaduct is a category A listed building.[3][4]

There is another Avon Viaduct located {{convert|4|mi|km}} south-east of Linlithgow. This Category B listed structure was built {{circa|1850}} for the Monkland Railways and is now disused. To distinguish it from the older viaduct it is usually referred to by the alternative name of Westfield Viaduct.[5]
