Colemanville Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, described in its record as bridge in Pennsylvania, United States. Pennsylvania has 231 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 32 of them in Lancaster County.

It crosses Pequea Creek; it is about 170 feet long (6th longest of 83 measured in Pennsylvania).

Status check, 2026-11: First built in 1856 by James C. Carpenter and partly rebuilt in 1938 and 1973; Lancaster County rebuilt it completely in 1992, raising it 6 ft and moving it a few feet west. I left year_built null because 1856 and 1992 could both count as the build year, and a few sources give 155–156 ft instead of 170 ft. Colemanville Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 39.8989° N, 76.3422° W.
