The Church Hill Road Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Columbiana County, Ohio. It was originally located over Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek in Elk Township. The bridge was constructed in 1870 and was relocated in 1982 near the Lock 24 Restaurant on Ohio route 154 east of Lisbon, Ohio.[2]

Spanning 19 feet 3 inches, the bridge is one of the shortest covered bridges for public highway use in the United States.[3] It is a 2-panel single kingpost design.[4]

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in June 1975.[1]
