The Ronoake Baptist Church is a historic church in rural Clark County, Arkansas. The church is located at the end of Ronoake Church Road, off United States Route 67 north of Gurdon. The single-story wood-frame church was built in 1945 to serve an African-American congregation founded in 1893, and is an excellent example of Craftsman architecture. It has a low-pitch gable roof with broad eaves, with exposed rafter tails, kingpost supports, and banks of windows characteristic of the style. The fellowship hall in the church has a similar design and is from around the same time. ^[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. ^[1]
