The Mount Olivet Methodist Church is a historic church building located on the Cleveland County, Arkansas fairgrounds near Rison, Arkansas. It is a simple rectangular structure built c. 1875, with twin entrances on one of the gable ends. The long sides of the church have four windows, while the rear wall has two, and the exterior has minimal decoration. The interior is a single chamber, again with minimal styling. The church was rescued from demolition in 1975 by the Cleveland County Historical Society, which moved it to the fairgrounds to be part of a display recreating a 19th-century Arkansas village.

The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It is believed to be the oldest Methodist church building in the county, and is one of its oldest structures.
