The Morris Institute Dairy Barn was a historic barn in rural White County, Arkansas. It was located on the campus of the Morris Institute, northwest of Searcy off Arkansas Highway 320. It was a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof that was extended over a single-story extension on one side. Its internal arrangement was unusual, with a central drive that was intersected at one point by another drive extending into the shed section. Built about 1930, it was the county's best example of a Depression-era dairy barn.[2]

The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.
