Puente del Congosto is a municipality located in the province of Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain. It is part of the Comarca de Guijuelo and the subcomarca of Alto Tormes, and falls under the jurisdiction of the judicial district of Béjar.
In 2019, the Governing Council of the Junta of Castile and León declared the Castillo de los Dávila and the medieval fortified bridge over the River Tormes a Site of Cultural Interest, under the designation of Historic Ensemble (Conjunto Histórico). This recognition was due to their strategic role as a key crossing point for livestock along the Cañada Real Soriana Occidental during the transhumance route to Extremadura.
In 2024 the municipality had a population of 225 inhabitants.
