The Atlantic Bridge is a flight route from Gander International Airport in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, to Scotland, with a refueling stop in Iceland (usually Keflavík International Airport). Traditionally, the Scottish airport most associated with the Atlantic Bridge has been Prestwick International Airport, owing to its long association with US and Canadian military traffic.

During the Second World War, new bombers flew this route. The most common users of this route are ferry pilots delivering light aeroplanes (often six seats or fewer) to new owners.
