Parvin Bridge is a 75-foot Howe truss covered bridge spanning Lost Creek near Dexter in Lane County, Oregon. Built in 1921, it serves a rural road in the agricultural valley southeast of Eugene, in a landscape of farms and small homesteads.

The bridge is named for the Parvin family, pioneer settlers in the area, and stands in a pastoral setting characteristic of the southern Willamette Valley foothills.

Parvin Bridge was constructed in 1921 and named for the Parvin family, who were among the early settlers in the Lost Creek valley south of Eugene. The bridge served an important role in connecting farms in the Dexter area to markets and services in Eugene.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, the bridge has been maintained as part of Lane County's commitment to preserving its covered bridge heritage.
