The Lee Creek Bridge is a historic bridge across Lee Creek in Van Buren, Arkansas. Now closed to traffic, it is a three-span truss bridge located west of Rena Road on the city's west side. The bridge's single Pratt through truss was built in 1898, and a pair of Warren pony trusses were erected in 1930 to replace a second Pratt truss. The trusses rest on original stone piers. The bridge has a total length of 296 feet (90 m), of which 126 feet (38 m) is the Pratt truss. The bridge was bypassed and closed in 1995.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
