The United States Post Office—Beverly Main is a historic post office at 161 Rantoul Street in Beverly, Massachusetts. The single story building was built in 1910 out of sandstone in a Classical Revival style. The front facade has a projecting portico supported by six Doric columns on a granite base, with granite steps leading up to a recessed entrance. The lobby area occupies the front of the main block, and is styled with terrazzo marble. There are one-bay wings on either side of the main block, which house offices. The roofline has an extended overhanging eave, above which is a parapet and a smaller gabled section topped by an octagonal cupola.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] The building continues to serve as Beverly's main post office.
