The Donaghey Building is a historic commercial building at 103 East 7th Street and 703 South Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a fourteen-story structure, built out of reinforced concrete and faced in brick. The building forms a U shape, with a central courtyard open to the south. It was built in 1925-26 to a design by New York City architect Hunter McDonnell, and was Little Rock's tallest building for three decades, housing a variety of commercial offices, and retail spaces on the ground floor. It featured the latest advances in lighting, ventilation, and fire-resistant construction.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
