The Baker House is a historic house at 109 5th Street in North Little Rock, Arkansas. It is an L-shaped structure, 2-1/2 stories in height, with a three-story round tower at the crook of the L. A highly decorated porch is built around the tower, providing access to the entrance. Built in 1898-99, it is one of the few surviving high-style Queen Anne Victorians in the city. It was built by A. E. Colburn, a local contractor, as his private residence, and was purchased in 1916 by C. J. and Annie Baker. Baker was from 1904 to 1906 the superintendent of North Little Rock's schools.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is also listed in the residential section of the Argenta Historic District.
