The Hindman Ben Franklin is a historic commercial building in Hindman, Kentucky, which formerly held a Ben Franklin five-and-dime-type store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

It is a "distinctive" building constructed of ashlar sandstone in 1913–14, originally to hold the Francis Smith and Company Department Store. It is also a contributing building in the Hindman Historic District, which was listed on the National Register in 2013.[2]

By 2012 the building had been rehabilitated and was hosting the offices, gallery, and cafe of the Appalachian Artisan Center.[2]
