The Central National Bank Building, also known as the Central Building, is a ten-story building located at 103 Southwest Adams Street in downtown Peoria, Illinois, United States. It was designed by the architectural firm of Daniel Burnham in 1913–1914; Burnham himself had died two years before its completion, and at the time his office was the largest architecture firm in the world. The building has a Renaissance Revival design, a popular style at the time. The design features pilasters dividing the windows on the first two floors, spandrels above the first-floor windows, and terra cotta cornice lines above the second and third floors.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1978.
