  • Brigden is a community in the township of St. Clair, Lambton County, Ontario, Canada.

Brigden has a population of about 500 and is the centre of a thriving agricultural district. The community is situated on the former Michigan Central Railroad line and thus is named after William Wharton Brigden, one of the engineers who surveyed the railway in 1936.
