The Baucum House (also known as the White-Baucum House) is an Italianate mansion at 201 South Izard Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. The house was constructed by Robert J. T. White, the Arkansas Secretary of State, in 1869-1870. Colonel George F. Baucum, a cotton broker, wholesale grocer, and Bank of Little Rock president purchased the home in the 1920s.

Beginning in the 1950s the home was converted to commercial use. The building became the home of Don Mehlburger Engineers in the late 1970s. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places.
