The Berger House is a historic house at 1120 South Main Street in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure with a cross gable roof, and was built in 1896 by Morris Berger, one of Jonesboro's first Jewish businessmen. It is a fine example of the Queen Anne style in brick, although it has lost some details (notably its porch and decorative elements on its chimneys). A two-story turret is capped by a roof with polychrome and varied-shape slate, with a textured frieze board just below its roofline. The house was home to the Jonesboro public library between 1950 and 1964.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
