Paul Laurence Dunbar High School is a historically black three-story high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. The school was constructed in 1929 and dedicated on April 14, 1930. The school was originally known as the Negro School of Industrial Arts, and offered the curriculum of the Rosenwald School program created by Booker T. Washington and endowed by Julius Rosenwald.

The school closed its doors as a high school in 1955, but remains open as Dunbar Junior High School today.

Dunbar High School was designed by local architects George H. Wittenberg and Lawson L. Delony. Dunbar is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
