The 1902 Larkin Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Larkin Road across the First Branch White River in northern Tunbridge, Vermont, in Orange County. Built in 1902 by Arthur C. Adams, it is one of the last documented covered bridges to be built in Vermont during the historic period of bridge construction and is one of five covered bridges in the town.

The Larkin Covered Bridge stands a short way north of the village center of North Tunbridge. It is a single-span multiple kingpost truss structure, 68 feet long and 16 feet wide, with a 13-foot roadway (one lane). It rests on abutments of stone and concrete and is covered by a metal roof. Its side walls are made of vertical board siding and have no openings. The portal ends, and the interiors of the portals are also finished in vertical board siding. Although the trusses are set to form a rectangle, the portals are slightly skewed, giving the bridge a parallelogram shape on the outside.

The 1902 bridge is one of only two documented early 20th-century bridges in the state; the other is the Kingsbury Covered Bridge in nearby Randolph, built in 1904. The bridge is one of five in Tunbridge, which, when combined with one in Chelsea, form a remarkably dense concentration of covered bridges across a single waterway in the state.

Length of largest span:  63 feet  
Total length:  70.9 feet

Larkin Bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 30, 1974.
