Dunbar Gifted & Talented Education International Studies Magnet Middle School is a magnet middle school in Little Rock, Arkansas and administered by the Little Rock School District.

Dunbar is located near the historically famous Little Rock Central High School and is a principal feeder into that school. Both schools are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since its construction in 1929 and before the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957, Dunbar was the site of the Negro School of Industrial Arts, the Paul Laurence Dunbar Junior and Senior High School and Dunbar Junior College. Architecturally, Dunbar is a scaled miniature of Central High.

Currently, all students take a foreign language, and most by 8th grade graduation have taken four. The school is seat to an extensive Gifted and Talented program.
