Beaver Creek Bridge, also known as FM 2326 Bridge at Beaver Creek or WC2215-02-002, is a historic bridge built during 1925-1926 near Electra in Wichita County, Texas. It brings Farm-to-Market Road over Beaver Creek , connecting the Beaver Creek community with the Rock Crossing oilfield area in Wilbarger County.

It consists of three 60 feet (18 m) riveted Warren pony truss spans and a concrete girder approach span, built to Texas Highway Department standard designs. Its spans were fabricated by, and the bridge was built by, the Austin Bridge Company of Dallas, Texas.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The bridge was then eligible for rehabilitation but not yet replacement.
