Tanners' Bridge, Stone footbridge in Tirana, Albania.

Tanners' Bridge is a stone footbridge over the Lanë stream in central Tirana, built with a main arch of 8 metres span and 3.5 metres above the water, flanked by two small segmental arches. Its 2.5-metre-wide deck is paved with river stones laid without regular order, and the structure rises in a humpback profile.

Built in the 18th century near the Tanners' Mosque, the bridge carried the Shëngjergj Road, the route from Tirana through Priskë e Madhe, Qafë Priskë, Domje and Shëngjergj toward Debar. Farmers drove livestock and produce into the city over it until the 1930s, when the Lanë was diverted from its course.

The bridge sits near what was once the leather crafting quarter, where workers prepared hides brought from nearby butcher shops. This trade shaped the daily rhythm of the neighborhood for centuries.

The bridge stands near the Tanners' Mosque, where the Lanë once flowed; the stream was diverted in the 1930s and an artificial pond now lies on both sides of the span. The 2.5-metre cobbled deck is for pedestrians only, and the restored area links toward the square where the Albanian flag was first raised on 26 November 1912.

During the 1990s restoration the bridge's foundations were uncovered and an artificial pond was recreated on both sides of the span, while the original stones were cleaned. An engineer on the "Ethnography in movement" project told the Albanian Telegraphic Agency in 2007 that the underground infrastructure work had been completed.
