Arkansas School for the Deaf (ASD) is a state-run public school in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States, serving deaf and hard of hearing students through residential, day school, and part-time enrollment programs. It was founded in 1850. The school offers preschool through high school, and is affiliated with the Arkansas Association of the Deaf (AAD) and the [[National Association of the Deaf (United States)|National Association of the Deaf]] (NAD).

The school is located near the Arkansas School for the Blind (ASB) and both are administered by a five-member panel known as the Board of Trustees ASB-ASD. Rufus Henry Lamb (died December 24, 1896) was a student at the school, worked at it, and became principal of the "Negro Department".[1]

The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) classifies it as a school district.[2]
