The Little Gap Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge located near Little Gap in Lower Towamensing Township, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1860, and is a 73-foot, Burr truss span crosses the Aquashicola Creek. The bridge incorporates elements of the Howe truss in its construction.

A nearby restaurant, the "Covered Bridge Inn," takes its name from the bridge. In 2011, the bridge was damaged by a hit and run driver.
