The Sparkill Creek Drawbridge is a historic Pratt pony truss-style drawbridge located at Piermont in Rockland County, New York. Built in 1880 by the King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland, it is a metal single-leaf bridge. Chains can lift the bridge when an operator turns a crank, helped by counterweights. It spans Sparkill Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985[1] and documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1994. After a complete dismantling and restoration was completed in 2009 by the Rockland County Highway Department for $900,000, the structure now serves solely as a pedestrian bridge.
