Fountainbridge is an area in the south-west of central Edinburgh, to the west of Tollcross. The area is centred around the western section of a road also called Fountainbridge. The Union Canal now begins in this area having originally extended a little further east.

The Edinburgh Meat Market opened in 1884 on the corner of Fountainbridge and Semple Street. It followed the creation in 1852 of the city's first municipal slaughterhouse which was located opposite on the site of today's Tollcross Primary School.
