Finlathen Aqueduct is a former aqueduct which now serves as a footbridge in Dundee, Scotland. It is Category B listed.

History The aqueduct was constructed in the 1840s to carry water from Monikie Burn to Stobsmuir Reservoir. A second water main with a diameter of 15 inches was laid in 1862 however the expanded aqueduct proved inadequate. In the 1870s it was superseded by a new water supply from the Loch of Lintrathen. It was later opened as a footpath.

In July 2019, the aqueduct was closed and fenced off after sagging was observed. Part of the edge of the aqueduct subsequently collapsed overnight. The repaired bridge reopened in June 2022.
