King's Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Middlecreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, carrying a road over Laurel Hill Creek. Built in 1802, it is one of ten covered bridges in the county and an early example of rural Pennsylvania bridge building. The bridge is a Burr truss span measuring 127 feet 4 inches, with a gable roof covered in asbestos. Its preservation reflects its significance as a surviving early covered road bridge, recognized by its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and documentation by the Historic American Engineering Record.
