Old Covered Bridge is a covered bridge on Covered Bridge Lane in Sheffield, Massachusetts. It is a replica of an 1837 lattice truss bridge that was destroyed by fire in 1994. At the time of its destruction it was the oldest such bridge in Massachusetts. The 100-foot (30 m) bridge spans the Housatonic River north of the Sheffield village center. The original bridge was restored in 1974 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and has not been removed. The replacement bridge was complete in 1996.
