The Perryville American Legion Building is a historic fraternal meeting hall at 408 W. Main Street in Perryville, Arkansas. It is a single story masonry building with Rustic and Tudor styling. It has a steeply pitched gable roof, with a projecting gabled entry vestibule facing the street. The gable ends are decorated with half-timbering, and the roof eaves show exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. The hall was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and is the community's best example of the Rustic style.[2]

The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] It now contains the Perry County Historical Museum.
