The Tontitown School Building is a historic former school building on Arkansas Highway 412 in Tontitown, Arkansas. It is a single-story hip-roofed building, fashioned out of concrete blocks. It has corner blocks set in a quoin pattern, and gabled dormers front and rear which house paired round-arch windows. The front entry is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by Corinthian columns. The school was built in 1920 to accommodated the community's growing Italian immigrant population. The building is now owned by the adjacent St. Joseph's Church.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
