The First Presbyterian Church is a historic church in Des Arc, Arkansas, United States. It is a single-story brick building, built in 1913 in a vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style. Its front facade has a neoclassical gabled portico with four supporting columns and entablature, and it has a two-stage belfry set atop its flat roof, with a bell-shaped copper roof. The congregation was founded in the 1840s; this is its third building.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]

In 2010 the congregation closed and donated the building to the city for use as a main branch library for Prairie and Arkansas counties.[3]
