The Smithfield Exchange Bank, built in 1822, is located on Putnam Pike in Greenville, Rhode Island in the town of Smithfield, Rhode Island.

In 1733, Resolved Waterman Jr., built a tavern to get busines from travelers on this former turnpike road, and in 1822 the new owner built the Smithfield Exchange Bank an ell on the tavern. The main section of the tavern was demolished in 1936 for the construction of Route 44, and the ells were altered to stand alone and the bank was a residence until 1969. Since then it has become greatly delapitated, but was added to the National Register in 2006

The 1822 incorporatorswere Daniel Winsor (president), Asa Winsor, Stephen Steere, Elisha Steere, Richard Smith, Silas Smith, Nathan B. Sprague, Joseph Mathewson, Dexter Irons, John S. Appleby, and Reuben Mowry.

As of 2008, the Smithfield Preservation Society has plans to restore the tavern, but the town of Smithfield has threatened to condemn and demolish the building because it is perceived as an eyesore by some neighbors.
