The 1847 Schenk's Mill Covered Bridge or Shenk's Mill Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge that spans the Big Chiques Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Big Chiques #4 Bridge. (Chiques Creek was known as Chickies Creek until 2002). The bridge was built in 1847 by Charles Malhorn and Levi Fink. The bridge was rebuilt in 1855.

The bridge has an 80-foot single-span, wooden, double Burr arch truss design with the addition of steel hanger rods. Its total length is 96 feet and 13 feet 10 inches wide. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County Covered Bridges, on both the inside and outside.
