Bennett's Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Greenup County, Kentucky. Kentucky has 15 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 2 of them in Greenup County.

It was built in 1855, in the Civil War era, making it the 2nd oldest of the 7 in Kentucky with a recorded construction date; it crosses Tygarts Creek.

Status check, 2026-11: The National Register and the state historical marker both date it to about 1855–56, so the record's 1875 is wrong. Length is null because sources give 195, 159, 155 and 145 ft (the National Register form itself mentions both 195 and 159 ft). Bennett's Mill Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 38.6306° N, 82.9269° W.
