The Missouri-Pacific Depot is a historic former railroad station on the south side of United States Route 64 (between 1st and 2nd Avenues) in Atkins, Arkansas. It is a long rectangular single-story masonry building, finished in brick and stucco and covered by a hip roof. At one end, the roof extends beyond the structure to form a sheltered area, and the telegrapher's booth projects from the building's south (track-facing) side. It was built about 1910 by the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, and is typical of that railroad's period stations, having only lost its tile roof.[1]

The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
