Imboden is a city in Lawrence County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 640 at the 2020 census. It is named after a family of settlers.

The community was first settled around 1828 and was incorporated in 1887.

In 1912, Imboden elected Joe Sullivan as the youngest elected mayor in the United States of that period. He was 21 years old and paralyzed, so relied on a goat-driven cart. He left the town in 1914 to pursue further education.

Imboden has two public schools. Sloan-Hendrix School was established in 1899 as Sloan-Hendrix Academy, a private school affiliated with Hendrix College in Conway. It later became a public school. Imboden Area Charter School, an open-enrollment public charter school, opened in 2002.

To the north of Imboden, across the Spring River, is Randolph County.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.97 square miles (2.5 km2), all land.
