The Carpenter Bridge is a historic bridge carrying Carpenter Street over the west branch of the Palmer River in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, it is the only surviving 19th-century stone bridge in the town. It is a double span structure consisting of cap stones laid on two stone abutments and a central pier, all made of locally gathered fieldstone. The load-bearing cap stones are up to ten feet long, three feet wide, and eighteen inches thick.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
