The Dellville Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located at Dellville in Wheatfield Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a 174-foot-long (53 m), three span, Burr truss bridge over Sherman Creek, constructed in 1889 by Andrew Clouser.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
On November 3, 2014, it was significantly damaged in a fire that police later ruled was arson. In 2017, work removing the burned and charred remains of the old Dellville Covered Bridge began, and in 2018, the work restoring the bridge began in earnest. By July of 2019, the bridge was completely restored back to its original condition to the cost of $966,000. In November of 2019, two men were charged as juveniles for the arson.
