The Leatherman Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Scenery Hill, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Leatherman Covered Bridge is located in a beautiful valley, and although the date of construction is unknown, it is believed that the bridge was built after 1860 because the original planks were sawed. Leatherman Bridge is a short bridge (only 36 feet long) utilizing a Queen post truss system that crosses the South Branch of Pigeon Creek.

The Leatherman Bridge is typical of most of the Washington County bridges having vertical siding on both sides and portals. Painted barn red both inside and out, the bridge has a sheet metal roof, a crosswise planked deck, and two windows on both sides. The bridge has narrow eave openings. The deck is supported by a framework of heavy timbers resting in the center of the streambed and sits on a concrete abutment at one end and a combination of stone, mortar, and concrete on the other end. There are also stone and mortar wing walls capped with concrete at both ends. The bridge has a posted 15-ton weight limit and was restored in 1998.

It is believed that this 12-foot wide bridge was named after Joseph Letherman, one of the area's earliest doctors, although the spelling of their name is not the same. The Leatherman Bridge is owned and maintained by the county and is open to vehicular traffic.

It is designated as a historic bridge by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.
