Bridgehampton is a hamlet in Suffolk County, New York, located in the Town of Southampton.

Shortly after the founding of Southampton in 1640, settlers began to move east to the area known by the Shinnecock Indians as Sagaponack and Mecox. At the head of Sagg Pond Pilgrims established a settlement called Bullhead, later renamed Bridgehampton after the Sagg Bridge (built across the pond in 1686 by Ezekiel Sandford) which served as the link between Mecox and Sagaponack.
