Tulip is an unincorporated community in Dallas County, Arkansas, United States.

[1] The community is on Arkansas Highway 9 5.7 miles (9.2 km) west of Carthage.

It was originally known as both Brownsville and Smithville after local settlers before adopting its current name, which came from either the area's large tulip tree population or the mnemonic for the five points of Calvinism.

The community prospered in its early years; a local pottery industry developed, and the Arkansas Military Institute and Tulip Female Collegiate Seminary opened there in 1850.

Tulip presently comprises a small collection of houses, churches, and abandoned buildings.
