The Yair Bridge or Fairnilee Bridge is a bridge across the River Tweed at Yair, near Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.
It was built in around 1764, with William Mylne acting as both designer and contractor. Its construction was authorised by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1764, for 12 miles (19 km) of road that would cost 6560l, including the "substantial" bridge at Fairnilee.
It was listed as a Category A listed building in 1971.
The bridge was substantially rebuilt between 1987 and 1988, with the addition of reinforcing concrete.
