Old U.S. Route 64 is a historic former alignment of U.S. Route 64 (US 64) in Menifee, Arkansas. Now a portion of Canal Road, it consists of a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) section of concrete pavement, extending south from the current alignment of US 64 near the center of Menifee. Built in 1931, it is the longest intact portion of the highway's original alignment in Conway County. It was bypassed by the present alignment in 1961.[2]

The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
