Peoples Bank Building is a historic bank building located at Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina. It was built about 1923, and is a modest two-story, cinder block building, sheathed in brick and in the Classical Revival style. It has a flat roof with raised parapet ornamented by brick panels outlined in limestone. The front facade features a large arched opening with a stone surround. The building housed one of only two African-American-owned banks to operate in the city of Kinston. The bank ceased to operate in 1931, and the building has housed a number of commercial enterprises.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
