Du Bocage is a historic house at 1115 West 4th Street in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and weatherboard siding. A two-story gabled section projects from the center of the front, supported by large Greek Revival columns, with a balustraded porch on the second level. The house was built in 1866 by Joseph Bocage, a veteran of the American Civil War, using lumber from the land and milled by his own mills. Bocage was a prominent local businessman, who owned a brick manufactory and a steam engine production plant in the city.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
