The "Poughkeepsie Journal" Building is the main office of that newspaper, in the city of Poughkeepsie, New York, USA. It is located at Civic Center Plaza, the north end of Market Street.

It was built of fieldstone in a Colonial Revival style during the 1930s. Architects in the Hudson Valley, and particularly Dutchess County, took inspiration from then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt's efforts to revive its use in the region, following the example of the early Dutch settlers of the area, who built many stone houses for themselves. In particular, the building complements the city's main post office nearby.cite news|first=Kathleen|last=Norton|title=Dutch left lasting impact|url=http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/hudson/stories/kn300.shtml|publisher="Poughkeepsie Journal"|date=July 18, 2004|accessdate=2007-11-09] In 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
