The Desha County Courthouse, on Robert S. Moore Avenue in Arkansas City, Arkansas, is the county seat of Desha County. The ​2 1⁄2-story Romanesque Revival brick building was built in 1900 to a design by Little Rock architect Rome Harding. Its most distinctive feature is its four-story square tower, which features doubled rectangular windows on the first level, a round-arch window on the second, an open round arch on the third, and clock faces on the fourth level. The tower is topped by a pyramidal roof with finial.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
