The Weigandt Barn is a historic barn at 27285 Silver Valley Road in rural Jones County, South Dakota. It is a rectangular structure on a fieldstone and concrete foundation, and measures 64 by 70 feet (20 m × 21 m). Built in 1917 by August Weigandt, it is a regionally unusual example of a Western Feeder barn, a type not usually found in the West River (western half) of the state. Farmers in the area generally "finished" their cattle on grass, and did not need feeder barns.[2]

The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
