Vault under Head Post Office is a brick-built underground structure located in Winchester, Hampshire, dating to the nineteenth century.

Its brick construction and underground location suggest it was designed for secure storage purposes, consistent with nineteenth-century commercial and postal practices. The structure remains a testament to Winchester's development as an administrative centre during the Industrial period.
