Packerville Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge carrying Packerville Road over Mill Brook in Plainfield, Connecticut. It is a masonry arch bridge with cut-stone barrel and rubble spandrels with a span of 26 feet (7.9 m) and a total structure length of 31 feet (9.4 m). The bridge was built in 1886, after a major flood washed away most of the town's bridges. It is a well-preserved example of vernacular 19th century masonry bridge technology.^[2]

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992,^[1] at which time it was one of about 20 surviving stone-arch bridges in the state.^[2]
