The Oark School—Methodist Church is a historic church at the junction of Arkansas Highway 215 and County Road 34 in Oark, Arkansas. It is a rectangular single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, novelty siding, and a fieldstone foundation. The gable ends of the roof are adorned with large knee brackets. Originally built c. 1923 as a collaboration between the local Methodist congregation and the school district, it served as both a public school and Methodist academy, the latter for a single season. It was used as a public school until 1938, when the district was consolidated with other area districts. It was briefly used as a school again in the 1950s, after the existing school burned down. It is now used as a community meeting hall.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
