The Missouri and North Arkansas Depot is a historic railroad station at Center Street and Cash Streets in Bellefonte, Arkansas. It is a small single-story structure with a wide low-pitch gable-on-hip roof and a rubble-stone exterior over a wood frame. A small shed-roof addition enlarges the building slightly to the north, while a larger cross-gable addition projects from the rear. It was built in 1901 by the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad to serve the area's passenger traffic. It is a rare example of rubble-over-frame construction for railroad stations in the region.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
