The following Gelfand-Mazur like theorems are proved in this paper:

(1) A complex Banach algebra which is locally finite, and which is also an integral domain, is isomorphic to the complex field .

(2) A complex Banach algebra which is a noetherian domain is isomorphic to .

(3) A complex Banach algebra which is a principal ideal domain is isomorphic to .

An application is given to the algebra of all complex formal power series in several variables.
