Salvo Post Office is a historic post office building located at Salvo, Dare County, North Carolina. It was built about 1910, and is a small frame building measuring 8 feet by 12 feet. The interior consists of the post office lobby and the postmaster's workroom. It reflects a unique tradition of a portable building being purchased by succeeding postmasters and moved to their respective properties. It is recognized by the U.S. Postal Service as the second smallest post office building in the nation. It was restored after being damaged by fire in October 1992.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.^[1]
