Поштова площа в Києві - сполучна ланка між Верхнім містом, Печерськом та Подолом. На цьому місці розташовувалися причали стародавнього Києва, місце яких згодом зайняв Річковий вокзал.
Назвою площа завдячує Поштовій станції (1850-1860 роки), від якої збереглася головна будівля. Окрасою Поштової площі є Церква Різдва Христового (1809-1814 роки), відновлена в роки незалежності. Через дорогу від неї розташована нижня станція Фунікулера (1905 рік), що пов'язує Поділ з Верхнім містом.
В останні роки вигляд Поштової площі сильно змінився внаслідок висотної забудови.
