Skeen's Mill Covered Bridge was a wooden covered bridge that spanned a branch of the Little Uwharrie River in Randolph County, North Carolina. It was built between about 1885 and 1900, and measured 100 feet long. The bridge had a combination of Ithiel Town lattice truss and queenpost truss construction. It had a gable roof and board-and-batten siding.[2] It has been demolished.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
