The First Presbyterian Church is a historic church at the northwest corner of Main and 5th Streets in Des Arc, Arkansas. It is a single story brick building, built in 1913 in a vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style. Its front facade has a neoclassical gabled portico with four supporting columns and entablature, and it has a two-stage belfry set atop its flat roof, with a bell-shaped copper roof. The congregation was founded in the 1840s; this is its third building.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
