St. Joseph Catholic Church is a historic church at 110 E. Henri de Tonti Boulevard in Tontitown, Arkansas. It is a large Late Gothic structure, built in 1939-44 from rusticated concrete blocks that were fashioned on site. Its architecture is characterized by buttresses, lancet-arched windows, and a square tower with open belfry projecting at one corner. The main entrance, on the south gable end, has a projecting arched surround finished in stucco. The church has been a major cultural civic center of a group of Italian immigrants who came to the area in the late 19th century.^[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.^[1]
