The Serpent Cave is a prehistoric rock art site near Clarksville, Arkansas. It consists of a panel depicting a serpentine figure, a common motif in rock art of the Mississippian culture. Why a motif of that culture is found as far west as it is (in an area more dominated by Plains and Caddoan cultures before European contact) is unknown.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
