The Dacians' Bridge (Romanian: Podul Dacilor) is the name of a bridge in the western Romanian city of Timișoara. It crosses the Bega River at Badea Cârțan Market and is one of three bridges in Fabric district. Until 1919, it was called Széna-téri híd, then for five years as Podul din Piața de Fân, meaning Hay Market Bridge. In both cases, the name was derived from the former name of Badea Cârțan Market.
