The Missouri Pacific Depot is a historic railroad station at Market and Ramey Streets in Bald Knob, Arkansas. It is a rectangular single-story structure, framed in wood and finished in brick, with a broad shallow-pitch hip roof. The northern side of the roof, where passengers waited, is supported by brick posts and has large L-shaped brackets. Built in 1915, it is Bald Knob's second railroad station, a reminder of the role the railroad played in the city's development.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
