The Johnson-Portis House is a historic house at 400 Avalon Street in West Memphis, Arkansas. Built 1936–38, it is a prominent local example of Tudor Revival architecture, designed by architects George Mahan Jr. and Everett Woods. It has a steeply pitched roof with half-timbered gables, and small-paned windows, all hallmarks of the style, and is set on an estate property landscaped by Highberger and Park. The property was developed for J.C. Johnson, a local judge.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
