The Peach Springs Trading Post, at 863 W AZ 66 in Peach Springs, Arizona, is a historic building built in 1928. It was built by Cecil Davis and includes Pueblo Revival architecture. It has served as a post office and a general store and also as a dwelling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]

In 2003, it was owned by the Hualapai Indian Nation.[2]

A 1936 postcard image depicts young men on horseback in front of the post, with a swastika in the signage of the post in the background.[3]
