Johnswood is a historic house at 10314 Cantrell Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a single-story structure, its main section built out of sandstone and capped by a side gable roof, with an attached wood frame section on the left end, with a front-facing gable roof. The main entrance is located in the center of the stone section, sheltered by a small gabled porch. The house was built in 1941 to a design by Maximilian F. Mayer for noted Arkansas authors John Gould Fletcher and Charlie May Simon. The house was at that time well outside the bounds of Little Rock in a rural setting, and was written about by Simon in an autobiographical work called Johnswood.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
