The Bella Vista Water Tank is a historic water tower at the junction of Oakmont and Cunningham Drives in Bella Vista, Arkansas. It is a circular masonry structure, faced in rough-cut fieldstone, and capped with a concrete lid whose design is intended to allow rainwater to enter the storage tank while minimizing the introduction of debris. Built c. 1927, it is significant as the only known water tank of its type in Benton County, and for its association with the early development of Bella Vista.[2]

The tank was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
