The US Post Office-Weymouth Landing is a historic post office building at 103 Washington Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts.

The basic design of the building is similar to other post office designs of the 1930s and 1940s. It has a five-bay facade, three of which project, providing the entrance. The building is topped by a side-gable roof with a wooden cornice, with a louvered belfry topping the roof.[2]
