The Donaghey Building is a partly vacant fourteen story building at the corner of Seventh and Main streets in Downtown Little Rock.

In 1926, the year the building was finished, the Donaghey Building was the tallest in the state of Arkansas. Three years later former Governor George Washington Donaghey donated the structure and the next door Federal Bank and Trust Building to the trustees of the Little Rock Junior College. The sale of these buildings generated an endowment of almost $2 million.

The Donaghey Building is sometimes called Little Rock's "first skyscraper," though the Pyramid Building on Second Avenue was completed in 1907.
