The Lake Village Post Office is a historic post office at 206 South Cokley Street in Lake Village, Arkansas. The single-story brick Colonial Revival building was built c. 1939; it is roughly square in shape, with a four-sided cupola topped by a bell-cast roof and pyramid. The interior features a mural drawn by Avery Johnson and installed in 1941; it was financed by the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts, and depicts cypress trees and deer.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
