The 1877 Shaffer's Bridge, sometimes known as Ben’s Creek Covered Bridge, is a historic covered bridge in Conemaugh Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It is a 68-foot-2-inch-long (20.78 m) Burr truss bridge, with a shingle-covered gable roof that crosses Ben's Creek. It is one of 10 covered bridges in Somerset County.

Shaffer’s Covered Bridge is the northernmost covered bridge in Somerset County and is located near Johnstown, PA. Normally open to traffic, it was closed in December 2019 for needed repairs.

Despite being located just off a busy road in a residential area, this is a very beautiful setting for a covered bridge.

Shaffer Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
