The Berger House is a historic house at 1120 South Main Street in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure with a cross gable roof, and was built in 1896 by Morris Berger, one of Jonesboro's first Jewish businessmen. It is a fine example of the Queen Anne style in brick, although it has lost some details (notably its porch and decorative elements on its chimneys). A two-story turret is capped by a roof with polychrome and varied-shape slate, with a textured frieze board just below its roofline. The house was home to the Jonesboro public library between 1950 and 1964.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
