The King Harry Ferry Bridge is a vehicular chain ferry, which crosses the Carrick Roads reach of the estuary of the River Fal in the county of Cornwall. The ferry crosses between the villages of Feock and Philleigh. The ferry is owned and operated by the King Harry Steam Ferry Company Ltd. The current ferryboat, named No. 7, was built in 2006 and can carry up to 34 cars.

Each year the King Harry Ferry saves 4.5m car miles, 1.7m kg of CO2, 500,000 kg of Carbon and 750,000 litres of fuel. 280,000 cars are carried each year by the King Harry Ferry making it a valuable tool against carbon dioxide emissions and towards the fight against pollution.
