The Farmers and Merchants State Bank is a bank building in Eureka, Montana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places August 31, 1995.^[1]

It was deemed "an excellent and well preserved example of Western Commercial styling, representative of many such small town banks which proliferated throughout Montana during the early 20th century."^[2]

It was built with bricks manufactured two miles south of Eureka, from local clay. The building cost $12,000 and was built by Blake and Son of Kalispell, Montana.^[2]

Heavy investment by the bank in agricultural irrigation, plus the closure of the Eureka Lumber Mill in 1923, led in the bank's failure in 1925.^[2]
