Auchumpkee Creek Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Upson County, Georgia. Georgia has 16 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow.

It was built in 1997, in the postwar decades, making it the 9th oldest of the 9 in Georgia with a recorded construction date; it crosses Auchumpkee Creek.

Status check, 2026-11: The original 1892 Town lattice bridge was washed off its piers by Tropical Storm Alberto in July 1994 and rebuilt in 1997 by Arnold Graton, reusing up to about 30% of the old timbers. Sources disagree on the length: 96 ft (span) vs. 120 ft 9 in (original total). Auchumpkee Creek Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 32.7556° N, 84.2319° W.
