The Shell Rock Bridge is a historic bridge located in Shell Rock, Iowa, United States.

This concrete filled spandrel arch bridge was completed in the fall of 1915 for $16,500.[2] The bridge was designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
