The Germantown Covered Bridge, in Germantown, Ohio, was built in 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1] However, it was delisted from the National Register after being destroyed in 1981.

It was an inverted bowstring bridge that carries Center Street over Little Twin Creek.

According to a 2012 source, it was originally located on the Dayton Pike. It was moved in 1911 to its present location.[2] It was restored in 1963.[3]

The bridge is only accessible for pedestrian traffic.[2]

It was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1992.
