Bernard's Ferry is a historic site located on the Snake River north of Murphy off State Highway 78 in Owyhee County, Idaho.

J.C. Bernard began operating a ferry at the site in 1884. He opened a road, utilizing the ferry, between mining town of Silver City and the Oregon Short Line railhead at Caldwell. A hotel and horse barn at this site were built to serve the stagecoach and freight lines which used the road and ferry. Bernard's ventures were successful until a bridge was built at in 1920.^[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The listing includes three contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and one contributing site.^[1] The buildings are a horse barn, an octagonal silo, and two outbuildings which are simple gabled stone and frame structures. The barn, a "good late nineteenth century horse barn" was deemed to be "one of the finer stylistic examples of its period in Idaho with its octagonal cupola, gable returns, and diamond windows."^[2]
