The 1943 Cavitt Creek Bridge, also known as the Little River Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge in Douglas County, Oregon. Sitting at an altitude of 890 feet, it was built by Floyd C. Frear. This 70-foot-long bridge carries Cavitt Creek Road over the Little River, about 20 miles (32 km) east of Roseburg, and is one of 17 covered bridges in Douglas County. Cavitt Creek, the road, and the bridge were all named for Robert L. Cavitt, who settled along the creek in the mid-19th century. The bridge is still open to traffic and has a vehicle limit of 3 tons.

The bridge features a Howe truss and Tudor arch portals to accommodate heavy log truck usage, and the upper and lower chords utilize raw logs as their members. Each side of the roofed structure sports three windows, and long, narrow slits above each truss allow "daylighting" as well as ventilation for the bridge interior. The bridge has a metal roof and a floor with longitudinal running planks, while the covered structure sits on concrete piers.

This covered bridge was included in the thematic nomination of Oregon's covered bridges to the National Register in 1979, but was not listed at the request of the County, and despite its significance, has never been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
