Purana Pul (meaning old bridge in English), built in 1578 AD is a bridge over river Musi^[1] in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It is the first bridge ever constructed in Hyderabad^[2] and among the oldest in South India.

It was built during the reign of Qutub Shahi dynasty, to connect Golconda and Hyderabad. The bridge is now defunct, and is used as a vegetable market but remains one of the oldest landmarks of Hyderabad.^[3] It was the only surviving bridge after the Great Musi Flood of 1908.
