Knowlton Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Monroe County, Ohio. Ohio has 147 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 2 of them in Monroe County.

It crosses Little Muskingum River.

Status check, 2026-11: The center span collapsed in July 2019 and the south span in June 2020; the one surviving span was repaired, two spans were rebuilt from local white oak, and work finished in 2024, so the current bridge mixes old and new parts. Sources give its length as 192 or 195 ft. Knowlton Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 39.6011° N, 81.1572° W.
