Sandy Creek Bridge is a covered bridge spanning Sandy Creek near the community of Remote in southwestern Oregon in the United States.^[2] The bridge crosses the creek near its mouth on the Middle Fork Coquille River in Coos County.^[3]

Built in 1921, the bridge carried Oregon Route 42 over the creek until bypassed by a newer bridge in 1949.^[4] In 1984, after restoration by volunteers from the Lions Club of Myrtle Point, the structure became a display in a county park at the same site.^[2] It is the only remaining covered bridge in Coos County.^[4]

Special features of the bridge include large side openings and a truss made of two crossed Howe truss members on each chord.^[4] The bridge is 60 feet (18 m) long.^[4] It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]
