The Parker House is a historic house on United States Route 425, two miles south of Star City, Arkansas. The two story house was built in 1927 by Robert Preston Parker, and it exhibits International style with Mediterranean elements, and extremely unusual styling for a rural setting in southeastern Arkansas. Parker, its builder and first occupant, was a civil engineer with extensive railroad experience. He was responsible for surveying Star City and naming most of its streets, as well as designing a number of other local buildings.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
