Faust is an extinct town in Pemiscot County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. It was in eastern Concord Township.[1] The exact location of the town site is unknown to the GNIS.[2]

A post office called Faust was established in 1911, and remained in operation until 1920.[3] The community's name is a corruption of the surname of J. M. and R. E. Foust, original owners of the site.[1]
