Bank of Newark Building is a historic bank building located at Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1845 and is a three-story, gable-roofed brick building with a symmetrical five-bay facade and a three-story ell to the rear. It is in a restrained form of the Greek Revival style. The front facade features a portico and massive pilasters added sometime after 1929.[2]

In 2010, a second location of the popular Wilmington, DE restaurant Catherine Rooney's moved into the original section of this building.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
