Great Bridge of Hrazdan (Armenian: Հրազդանի Մեծ կամուրջ), more commonly known as Kievian Bridge (Armenian: Կիևյան կամուրջ), is an arch bridge for traffic linking across the Hrazdan River in Yerevan, Armenia. It connects the Kievian street of Arabkir district with the Leningradian street of Malatia-Sebastia district. It was designed by architect Grigor Aghababyan and constructed between 1949 and 1956.[1][2]

The Karen Demirchyan Complex and the Tumanyan Park are located around the bridge.
