The Negrelli Viaduct (Czech: Negrelliho viadukt by Alois Negrelli, also known as the Karlín Viaduct,), Czech republic, is a railway bridge over the Štvanice island that connects the Masaryk Railway Station in Prague with Bubny. It is historically the first Prague railway bridge over the Vltava and currently it is the second oldest Prague bridge over this river and its thirteenth downstream bridge in the capital.[1]

It is also the longest railway bridge and the third longest bridge in the Czech Republic.

The viaduct was declared a Czech cultural monument in 1964.[2]
