Fossil Creek Bridge is a closed-spandrel deck arch bridge built in the U.S. state of Arizona during 1924–25 on Cottonwood-Camp Verde-Pine road across Fossil Creek. The road, also known as Fossil Creek Road, crosses the creek at a point where it forms the border between Yavapai and Gila counties, and between the Tonto and the Prescott National Forests.^[2] The nearest town is Strawberry in Gila County. It is not far from Camp Verde in Yavapai County.

It has a 70-foot (21 m) span,^[3] a 14-foot (4.3 m) arch rise, Luten arch-like reinforcing and bulkheads. It cost $10,037 to build. It was designed by the Arizona Highway Department early in 1924 and completed later that year.^[2]
