The DML Butler Bridge is a Camelback through truss bridge located near Grand Encampment, Wyoming, which carries Carbon County Road CN6-203 across the North Platte River. Contractor Chris O'Neil built the bridge in 1920 to replace a wooden bridge built in 1905. The bridge is one of two Camelback truss bridges remaining on a Wyoming county highway and, at 170 feet (52 m) long, is the longer of the two.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985. It was one of several bridges added to the NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.
