The Old Huntington Jail is a historic jail at 223 East Broadway in Huntington, Arkansas. It is a single-story stone structure, fashioned out of courses of cut stone. It was built in 1888 by the Kansas and Texas Coal Company, a mining concern that platted and founded Huntington in 1887. The interior has a central access space with two small cells on the right, and one large one on the left. The jail was in active use into the mid-1950s, and is now part of a local history museum.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
