'''Union National Bank''' was one of the largest local banks in Little Rock in the twentieth century.

The bank had its origins in [[W. J. Turner and Company]], a private bank opened in 1885 by [[William J. Turner]]. Turner was former chief clerk and deputy of the office of [[Arkansas State Treasurer]]. Turner's bank was originally located at 223 West Markham Avenue. The bank was purchased by brothers [[Sydney J. Johnson]] and [[Allen M. Johnson]] in 1893. The bank was renamed [[S. J. Johnson Company]]. In 1899 the bank absorbed the [[Guaranty Trust Company]], and the resulting entity became known in 1902 as the [[Union Trust Company]]. In 1919 Union Trust merged with the [[Mercantile Trust Company]] and the bank again changed names to [[Union Mercantile Trust]]. In 1924 the bank was known simply as [[Union Trust]]. The name changed in 1933 to Union Bank, and in 1934 after receiving a national bank charter to Union National Bank.

The bank ceased to exist as a separate entity after a 1993 merger with [[Worthen Bank]].
