The 1824 Halpin Covered Bridge, also called High Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge carrying Halpin Bridge Road across the Muddy Branch of the New Haven River in Middlebury, Addison County, Vermont. 

The Halpin Covered Bridge is located in a rural area of northern Middlebury, near or on the border with neighboring New Haven on Halpin Bridge Road, a dead-end road off Halpin Road. The bridge spans a gorge carrying the Muddy Branch of the New Haven River and now provides access only to the Halpin family farm. The bridge stands 41 feet above the water, making it the highest-covered bridge in the state.

The bridge was originally built to serve a marble quarry operation on the east side of the river and had dry-laid stone abutments. It is one of only two covered bridges in Middlebury. It had minor repairs made in the 1960s. In 1994 the bridge had extensive work done by Jan Lewandoski, in which the bridge was completely removed from its crumbling marble abutments, and new concrete abutments were created for it.

Of the over 500 covered bridges built in Vermont, as of 2019, only 104 remain.

Length of largest span: 63 ft.
