Summers is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in far western Washington County, Arkansas, first listed as a CDP in the 2020 census, when it had a population of 166.

The community was earlier named Coon Creek and took its present name from John T. Summers, one of the community's original postmasters.

Summers sits in the Ozarks on the southern edge of the Springfield Plateau near the Boston Mountains, at the intersection of U.S. Route 62 and Arkansas Highway 59 about two miles east of the Oklahoma state line, just east of Ballard Creek.

The Summers area was among the first sections of Washington County to be settled, dating to territorial days, and it became a center of a rich grain and livestock farming region, with village life taking shape around 1881.

The Ozark & Cherokee Central Railroad built its depot at Summers in 1901–1903 and the line became the Frisco Railroad's Muskogee Branch, but passenger service ended in 1940 and the tracks were pulled up in 1942 to provide scrap metal for the war effort.

Summers children attend the Lincoln Consolidated School District, whose Lincoln High School is the district's sole high school; the old Summers School District No. 19, established in 1884, was consolidated into Lincoln around 1950.

Educator George W. Bond, who served as president of Louisiana Tech University from 1928 to 1936, was born in Summers in 1891.
