Peanut is an unincorporated community in eastern Franklin County, Arkansas, United States. [1]

The settlement is located on the south edge of the Mulberry River floodplain at the confluence with Clear Creek and approximately one-half mile from the Franklin-Johnson county line. The community is within the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest. [2] Ozark lies approximately thirteen miles to the south-southwest. Arkansas Highway 215 passes on the north side of the river floodplain. [3]

Prior to 1945, the settlement was called "Taft", and Taft at one time had a post office. [4]
