The 1906 King's Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Middlecreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The original bridge at this site was built in 1802. The current bridge is a 127-foot-4-inch-long (38.81 m) 12-foot-wide Burr truss bridge with an asbestos-covered gable roof that crosses Laurel Hill Creek. It is one of 10 covered bridges in Somerset County. Kings Covered Bridge is the heart of a small park-like setting southwest of Somerset.

Historic records indicate that numerous bridges have occupied the site over the years. Signs on the bridge indicate it was built as early as 1802, but conflicting records are unclear about exactly when in the 19th century it was built. What is known is that King's Bridge carries the name of the farmer, John King, on whose land the bridge was built. The King family took possession of the bridge in the 1930's, which was used for vehicular traffic until 1934 when a new highway bypassed it. 

The bridge is supported by a Burr-type arch and was originally designed as a multiple "Kingpost" truss that appears to have had arches retrofitted later. One unique feature of the bridge is a rare lattice floor joist layout, which can be viewed from the banks. The bridge is a single-span structure.

The King Family privately maintained the bridge from 1934 up until 1998 at their own expense. The family's love for the bridge led them to look for ways to preserve it. As a result, a ten-year restoration project was launched. At the start of the project, the bridge was reinforced to prevent further damage. All of the original materials that could be salvaged were reused in the project.

King's Bridge is thought to be the oldest bridge remaining in Somerset County.

King's Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
