Noahkai Dominic Banks (born December 1, 2006) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for FC Augsburg.

Banks was born on December 1, 2006, in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.

As a youth player, Banks joined the youth academy of German side TSV Dietmannsried. In 2015, he joined the youth academy of German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg at under-10 level and was playing for the club's under-17 team at the age of fourteen. By 2024, he was promoted to FC Augsburg II, the system's professional reserve team, before earning a place on the senior team later that year. On January 12, 2025, he made his senior debut in a 0–1 home loss to VfB Stuttgart in the 2024–25 Bundesliga. Shortly thereafter, American newspaper USA Today wrote that he was "one of the U.S. men's national team's biggest prospects".

In the 2025–26 Bundesliga season, Banks established himself in Augsburg's starting lineup. He also scored his maiden goal for the senior team via a volley in a 3–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg. During a 2–0 home win against 1. FC Köln on matchday 24, Banks was named the player of the match by German football magazine Kicker.

In September 2025 he was called up to the senior United States squad for a friendly against Japan.

Banks was born to an American father and German mother, and is therefore eligible to represent either the United States or Germany. He is a youth international for the United States, having been called up to the United States U20s.
