The Bonneville House is a historic house at 318 North 7th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure, with a metal hip roof and a brick foundation. Built in 1880, its styling is predominantly Second Empire, with elaborate window hoods, heavy paired brackets in the eaves, and a full-width porch with turned balusters and posts with finely-detailed capitals. In addition to its locally distinctive architecture, the house is historically significant as the home of explorer Benjamin Bonneville.[2]

The house has been restored and is available for event rentals.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
