The Hindman Ben Franklin is a historic commercial building in Hindman, Kentucky, which formerly held a Ben Franklin five-and-dime-type store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

It is a "distinctive" building constructed of ashlar sandstone in 1913–14, originally to hold the Francis Smith and

Company Department Store. It is also a contributing building in the Hindman Historic District, which was listed on the National Register in 2013.{{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/13000112.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Hindman Historic District |publisher=National Park Service|author=Fern Nafziger |date=August 31, 2012 |accessdate=April 2, 2018}} With 15 photos from 2012.

By 2012 the building had been rehabilitated and was hosting the offices, gallery, and cafe of the Appalachian Artisan Center.
