The 1938 Wendling Bridge, also known as Mill Creek Bridge, is a covered bridge in Lane County, Oregon. This 60-foot (18 m) Howe truss structure carries Wendling Road over Mill Creek in the unincorporated community of Wendling. Under the supervision of A. C. Striker, the county bridge superintendent, Lane County built four covered bridges, including Wendling Bridge, in 1938. The others are Pengra, Goodpasture, and Earnest Bridges.

Costing $2,241 to construct, Wendling Bridge's interior was once plastered with circus posters just like the nearby Earnest Bridge until time, moisture, and visitors removed them. Other notable features of the Wendling Bridge include semi-elliptical portal arches and ribbon openings at the eaves. Like many other short-span bridges in the county, it used single-piece chords for the Howe truss.

The structure was named for the town, which had been named after George X. Wendling, a San Francisco millionaire and director of Booth-Kelly's Lumber Company and its expansion in the Mohawk Valley in 1899. He also established a post office in the small town.

Current Access: Vehicles up to 10 tons, maximum height 11 feet 11 inches.

Wendling Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
