The Mercantile Bank Building is a historic bank building at 249 South Main Street in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The brick building was built in 1890 for Craighead County Bank.

The architectural firm of Hoggson Brothers conducted a 1919 update and remodel of the building. Jonesboro bank closed in 1931 and, after fundraising efforts to open a new bank in the town, Mercantile Bank opened in the building in 1932.
