The Landesbank für Bosnien und Herzegowina (Serbo-Croatian: Privilegovana zemaljska banka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu, lit. 'Bank of the Lands of Bosnia and Herzegovina') was a bank established in Sarajevo in 1895 to help finance the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina under Austro-Hungarian rule. It kept operating after the establishment of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and during World War II, but was liquidated in the late 1940s.
Its former head office, initially built as a hotel, is a landmark of Sarajevo.
