The Former Post and Telegraph Building is a building located in Wellington, New Zealand.

The building, located on Herd Street, was designed by Edmund Anscombe and built in 1939. It originally had two full-size tennis courts on the roof.[1] The courts were later demolished to make way for a sixth storey. The building ceased being used as the post office in the late 1980s and is currently a mix of apartments, restaurants and shops.
