The Lihue Post Office in Lihue, Hawaii, was built in 1939. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as U.S. Post Office-Lihue in 1989.[1]

The Mission Revival style architecture of the building is an accommodation to local citizens who did not want the standard neo-classical design of many mainland U.S. post offices.[2]
