The Lonoke Confederate Monument is located in central downtown Lonoke, Arkansas, on the grounds of the Lonoke County Courthouse. It is a marble depiction of a Confederate Army soldier, 6 feet (1.8 m) in height, mounted on a square columnar base almost 15 feet (4.6 m) tall. The soldier holds a rifle, its butt resting on the ground, and carries a bedroll. He has a belt on which there are a canteen and bayonet. The statue was commissioned by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and was unveiled in 1910.[2]

The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
