Hillsgrove Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, described in its record as bridge over Loyalsock Creek in Hillsgrove Township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has 231 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 3 of them in Sullivan County.

It was built in 1850, in the Civil War era, making it the 13th oldest of the 134 in Pennsylvania with a recorded construction date; it crosses Loyalsock Creek.
