Howard's Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Georgia has 16 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow.

It was built in 1905, in the early 20th century, making it the 8th oldest of the 9 in Georgia with a recorded construction date; it crosses Big Clouds Creek.

Status check, 2026-11: This Town lattice bridge over Big Clouds Creek dates from 1904–05 and was repaired around April 1998. Sources give its length as 161, 164 or 168 ft, so the length is left blank. Howard's Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 33.9858° N, 83.1336° W.
