Bracebridge (2001 population 13,751) is a town in Muskoka Region of Ontario, Canada. Scott Northmore is the mayor.
The town was built around a waterfall in the centre of town, and is known for its other nearby waterfalls (Wilson's Falls, High Falls, etc). It was first incorporated in 1875. It was named after a book, Bracebridge Hall by Washington Irving, that the postmaster in charge of naming towns was reading at the time.
The town is a centre of tourism for the Muskoka area, and is home to several historical buildings, such as the Inn at the Falls, Woodchester Villa, and the Silver Bridge, which joins Manitoba Street with Ecclestone Drive. The Silver Bridge was repaired in 2002.
Nipissing University has a satellite campus in the town.
Bracebridge is the home of Santa's Village, a theme park for children, established in 1955.
