The County Farm Bridge was a historic covered bridge in Dover, New Hampshire. The Howe truss bridge was built in 1875, and carried County Farm Road over the Cocheco River. It was 112.5 feet (34.3 m) long, and had an unusually low pitched roof. The bridge was probably built to serve the county farm, which was established nearby c. 1866.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It burned in 1981, but its abutments can still be viewed from a nature trail behind the county jail.
