Hobson Block is a commercial building in West Union, Iowa. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 2008. The brick and stone building was designed by local architect Edward Easton in the Late Victorian style to rebuild the town after its original wooden structures were destroyed by fire in May 1885.

It is the 19th property listed as a featured property of the week in a program of the National Park Service that began in July 2008.
