Bridge No 5827 is a highway bridge in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under "Iron and Steel Bridges in Minnesota, 1873-1945".

The bridge is on Minnesota State Highway 60, 0.1 miles east of the US 63 intersection. This bridge was built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1938 for an approximate cost of $2000. This bridge is an example of New Deal, labor-intensive work projects which promoted highway beautification and highlighted local craftsman skills and workmanship. The bridge is built on an Armco Culvert Manufacturers Association galvanized, corrugated-iron structure. Excellent masonry work covers the structure to result in a stoned-faced, multi-plate arch style bridge.
