Le pont Saint-Thomas est un pont métallique en arc qui franchit l'Ill dans le quartier du Finkwiller à Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin). Cet ouvrage en fonte fut construit en 1841 par les frères de Dietrich de Reichshoffen, sous la direction de Nicolas Cadiat, d'après les plans de l'ingénieur Antoine-Rémy Polonceau, concepteur du pont du Carrousel à Paris dans les années 1830. C'est l'un des plus anciens ponts de fonte conservés en France.
