Yes, a small amount of banana is safe for your dog. Bananas are not toxic but are high in sugar, so only give a few small slices, especially to a small breed. Offer the banana plain, without any peel or additives. Monitor for any stomach upset, and contact your veterinarian if you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or other concerns.
