The Petit Jean River Bridge is a historic bridge in rural northeastern Yell County, Arkansas. It is located north of Ola, and carries County Road 49 across the Petit Jean River. It is a single-span Pratt through truss, with a truss length of 119 feet (36 m) long, and a total structure length of 159 feet (48 m). The trusses rest on concrete pillars. The bridge is 12 feet (3.7 m) wide, allowing for a single lane of traffic. Built in 1930, it is one of three Pratt truss bridges in the county.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
