The Selma Rosenwald School is a historic school building, just south of US Route 278 on the Selma-Collins Road in Selma, Arkansas. Built in 1924 with funds provided by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, it is the only surviving Rosenwald School in Drew County. It is a single story wood-frame building with two classrooms. The building was used as a school, serving grades 1 through 10, until 1964. It was then acquired by the local Masonic Lodge.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
