General Post Office, a colonial-era building situated on 141 King William Street on the north-west corner of King William Street and Victoria Square, is the former General Post Office for South Australia.

Postal services operated from the building between 6 May 1872 and 11 October 2019. Construction began on the site to build a multi-level building above the GPO in 2021, with the new Adelaide Marriott Hotel slated to open in July 2024.
