The Studebaker Showroom is a historic commercial building at 519 Port Arthur Avenue (corner of De Queen) in downtown Mena, Arkansas. It is a single-story stuccoed concrete block structure with a flat roof. Built in 1948, it is a distinctive local example of the Moderne style, with rounded corners on the corners of the front part of the building. This includes a projecting showroom section, and the corners of the main service and sales area behind, which are decorated with banks of glass blocks, another Moderne hallmark.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
