Sverdrup & Parcel was an American civil engineering company formed in 1928 by Leif J. Sverdrup and his college engineering professor . The company worked primarily in a specialty field of bridges. The company's headquarters was located in St. Louis, Missouri. The firm was the designer of the ill-fated I-35W Mississippi River bridge, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1964 (collapsed on August 1, 2007). The official report by the National Transportation Safety Board blamed the bridge collapse on a design error by the firm, resulting in the gusset plates having inadequate load capacity.

Zu den von Sverdrup & Parcel geplanten Projekten gehören: * die Amelia Earhart Bridge (1939) in Atchison, Kansas über den Missouri River; * die erste Sidney Lanier Bridge (1956), eine Hubbrücke über den Brunswick River in Georgia; * die Puente de las Américas (1962) über den Panamakanal; * der Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (1964), der 1965 zum „Architektonischen Weltwunder der Moderne“ ernannt wurde; * das Busch Memorial Stadium (1966) in St. Louis, Missouri; * die Puente de Angostura (1967) über den Orinoco in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela; * die Qotour-Talbrücke (1970), eine Eisenbahnbrücke im Iran; * die Interstate-35W-Mississippi-River-Brücke in Minneapolis, Minnesota (die 2007 einstürzte); * das Hearnes Center (1972), eine Mehrzweckhalle in Columbia (Missouri); * den Mercedes-Benz Superdome (bis 2011 Louisiana Superdome) (1975) in New Orleans, Louisiana.
