The DeGray Creek Bridge is a historic bridge in rural Clark County, Arkansas. It carries County Road 50 (Terrell Road) over DeGray Creek, west of the county seat Arkadelphia. It is single-span Pratt pony truss bridge that is 61 feet (19 m) long, resting on concrete abutments. Its trusses were purchased by the county from the Hope Bridge Company and the Stupp Brothers Bridge & Iron Works in 1915. They were moved to the present bridge c. 1970 when the original location was slated to be flooded by the construction of DeGray Dam.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
