The Swift Building is a historic commercial building at 410 East Broad Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building, with a distinctive brick parapet topped by cast concrete. The main facade has a central doorway, with a series of three sash windows on the right and a recessed loading bay on the left. The building was built c. 1920 by the Swift Meat Company, and is a well-preserved example of a meat packing facility from the period, and a good example of vernacular commercial architecture.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.^[1]
