The Chester Masonic Lodge and Community Building is a historic community building in Chester, Arkansas. It is a two-story rectangular wood-frame structure, designed to house a church and community space on the ground floor, and Masonic lodge facilities on the upper floor. It was built in 1942, replacing a 1903 building of similar function that stood at another location and was torn down to build a school. Significant elements of the old building (most notably its windows and parts of its framing) were reused in the construction of the new building.{{cite web|url=https://www.arkansasheritage.com/docs/default-source/national-registry/CW0455-pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Chester Masonic Lodge and Community Building|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2015-03-20|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402125226/http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/%21userfiles/CW0455.nr.pdf|archivedate=2015-04-02}}
