The Yadkin Church is a historic church building on Upper Janes Creek Road in rural Randolph County, Arkansas, north of Ravenden Springs. Built about 1894, it is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main entrance is on the otherwise unadorned northeast face, and consists of a pair of paneled doors. Sash windows line the side walls, with one on the rear wall. It is the only significant surviving element of the town of Yadkin, which was a thriving farm community in the early 20th century. It was last used for regular services about 1950.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.^[1]
