The Hunsecker Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster County has the most covered bridges in Pennsylvania, with 29 covered bridges. The bridge has a single-span, wooden, double Burr arch truss design.

The bridge, which spans the Conestoga River, is 180 feet long, making it the longest single-span-covered bridge in the county.

The original bridge was built in 1843 by John Russell for $1,988. It was and is a double Burr Arch truss system. It had been swept away by flooding numerous times, most recently in 1972 after Hurricane Agnes. Waters lifted the original structure off its abutments and carried it downstream. In 1973, following destruction from the hurricane, it was rebuilt for $321,302. Its length of 180 feet makes it the longest single-span covered bridge of Lancaster County's covered bridges. While Schenck's covered bridge (Big Chiques #4) is one of 3 bridges with horizontal siding boards, the Hunsecker's Mill bridge may be the only one in Lancaster County with horizontal floorboards that give a unique vibration upon crossing. It is a little bumpy for cyclists. A detailed scale model (7' long), complete with stone abutments, was donated to the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and may be available for viewing.

Length of largest span:  172 feet
Total length:  181 feet
Deck width:  11 feet
Vertical clearance above deck:  13.3 feet

Of the 1,500 covered bridges that once stood in the state of Pennsylvania, as of 2019, approximately 200 remain.

Unlike most historic covered bridges in the county, Hunsecker Mill Bridge is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
