First National Bank-Graham Building, also known as the Ross Building, is a historic commercial building located at New Cumberland, Hancock County, West Virginia. It was built in 1903, and is a two story, four bay blond brick building with an elevated basement. It features an elevated recessed corner entry with a Doric order column at the corner. It was originally occupied by the First National Bank, until it failed in 1927. For 61 years, from 1929 to 1990, the first floor space was known as Graham's Department Store.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
