Årstabroarna are two parallel railway viaducts in central Stockholm, Sweden, passing over the watercourse of Årstaviken and the islets Årsta holmar, they connect the major island Södermalm to the southern mainland district Årsta.

The eastern bridge (left), the older of the two and still often referred to as Årstabron ("The Årsta Bridge"), is still in operation almost 100 years after its inauguration in 1929. The bridge, on its completion the longest bridge in Sweden, was designed be the architect Cyrillus Johansson (1884–1959) and the engineers Ernst Nilsson (1874–1946) and Salomon Kasarnowsky (1887–1960). It has often been compared to a classical Roman aqueduct, and is today declared a historical landmark.

A western bridge, designed by Sir Norman Foster, 833 metres long and 19,5 metres wide, was finally inaugurated in 2005. Along with the new bridge a new commuter train station, Årstaberg, was created south of the bridges.
