Caney Springs Cumberland Presbyterian Church is a historic church at the junction of Arkansas Highway 289 and Izard County Road 70 (Walter Hall Road), near Sage, Arkansas. It is a modest rectangular Plain Traditional structure set on fieldstone piers and topped by a gabled corrugated metal roof. The interior has a single large room, with plank flooring and flush-boarded walls. The pews, original to the building's 1889 construction, were handcrafted by the congregation. The church is a well-preserved example of a once-common type of church found in the region.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
