Old Mishawaka Carnegie Library is a former public library and historic Carnegie library located at Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana. It was built in 1916, and is a one-story, Jacobethan Revival style, oriental brick building with terra cotta embellishments. It features a projecting entrance portico with limestone columns. An addition was constructed by the Works Progress Administration in 1937. It was built with a $30,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation.[2]: 5–6, 8, 11 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] The building no longer contains a public library. Since 1969, the building has held private offices, a private residence,[3] and in 2018 opened as Jesus Latin Grill and Tequila Bar.
