The Old Spink Colony is a Hutterite colony on the James River near Frankfort, South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The listing included four contributing buildings.[1]

As of 1981, it was one of 23 extinct colonies in South Dakota out of 46 colonies which had been established up until then.[2]

It includes the South Dwelling, which has a 1906 date upon it, the East Dwelling, a Dining Hall, and a Carpenter/Welding Shop.[3]
