The Ward-Hays House is a historic house at 1008 West 2nd Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building, distinguished by a massive front portico, with two-story fluted Ionic columns supporting an elaborate entablature and cornice. The house was built in 1886 for the son Zeb Ward, by prison labor provided by the Arkansas State Penitentiary, which Ward headed at the time. Its second owner was John Quitman Hays, a prominent railroad engineer.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
