Pfeifer v. City of Little Rock was a lawsuit filed by Eugene Pfeifer III in 2001. In their October 2001 Arkansas Supreme Court briefs attorneys for the plaintiff argued that the City of Little Rock had improperly exercised its powers of eminent domain to seize 2.9 acres of Pfeifer's land for the Clinton Presidential Center site because it was not destined to become a public park.

On November 1, 2001, the Supreme Court returned a unanimous verdict on behalf of the defendant in the case, ruling that the City's action in taking the land was proper.
