Ashland Covered Bridge, also known as Ashland Bridge or Barley Mill Road Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge over Red Clay Creek on Barley Mill Road (near the junction of Brackenville Road) in Ashland in New Castle County, Delaware.

It is a Town lattice truss bridge following a design of Ithiel Town.

It was built about 1860. It is almost identical to the Wooddale Bridge.

In 1965, when it was documented in the Historic American Engineering Record survey, it was one of the last three surviving covered bridges in the state of Delaware.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
