The Tillar Methodist Church, formerly known as the Frank Tillar Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, South and the Tillar United Methodist Church, is a historic church building on West Railroad Street in Tillar, Arkansas. The church, a 11⁄2 story brick Classical Revival building, was built in 1913 by the Pine Bluff firm of Monk and Ritchie. Its most distinctive feature is its central dome, which is mounted above a band of windows. The church is named in honor of the congregant who donated $8,000 of the $8,500 cost of its construction.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1] In 2023, the congregation disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church and joined the Global Methodist Church.[3]
