Newport National Bank is a historic bank building located at Newport, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1864, and is a -story, five bay by three bay, brick building with a gable roof.

The buildings contained both a residence and the bank, reflecting bank rules which required that the cashier and family reside in the building as a security measure.[1]
