The Modern News Building is a historic commercial building at 216 North Main Street in downtown Harrisburg, Arkansas. It is a single-story rectangular brick building, with a flat roof and simple styling. A tall front steps down toward the rear of the building, with the side walls capped in tile. The facade is three bays wide, with a center entry flanked by recessed windows. A metal awning extends across the facade. The building was built in 1888, and is significant as the home of The Modern News, which has been Harrisburg's newspaper since that year.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
