The Bell Ford Post Patented Diagonal "Combination Bridge", often simply called the Bell Ford Bridge or Bell Ford Covered Bridge, was a covered bridge originally located in Jackson County, Indiana, northwest of Seymour, Indiana. The bridge spanned the East Fork of the White River on a former alignment of State Road 258, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2005.

The bridge's western span collapsed in February 1999 during a windstorm, and the eastern span collapsed on January 2, 2006, nine months after it made the National Register. The remains of the bridge were stored until funding and a new site were identified in Hamilton County, Indiana. The reconstructed bridge was relocated in 2024 and dedicated in June 2025 near Fishers, Indiana.
