The Federal Building, also known as the Old Post Office, is a historic institutional building located at 201 North Vienna Street in Ruston, Louisiana.

Built in 1909 to host Ruston Post Office, the structure is a small one-story rectangular limestone building with a hipped roof featuring circular dormers. The building was vacated about 1961 when a new post office was built, and was then used since 1963 as a federal office building.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 9, 1974. It was also declared a contributing property of Downtown Ruston Historic District at the time of its creation on January 31, 2017.
