The U.S. Custom House and Post Office is a court house at 815 Olive Street in downtown St. Louis.

It was designed by architects Alfred B. Mullett, William Appleton Potter, and James G. Hill, and was constructed between 1873 and 1884. Located at the intersection of Eighth and Olive Streets, it is one of four surviving Federal office buildings designed by Mullett. The others are the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a part of the White House complex in Washington, D.C., the Century Post Office in Raleigh, North Carolina, and the U.S. Custom House in Portland, Maine.

It is built in the Second Empire architectural style that was popular in the post American Civil War era. Mullett's other Second Empire buildings in Boston, Cincinnati, New York City, and Philadelphia have been demolished.
