The Auckland Ferry Terminal building on Quay Street in Auckland, New Zealand is the hub for the city's network of ferry routes to suburbs on the harbour's north shore, west, and south, as well as islands in Waitematā Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf. The terminal is located close to the Britomart Transport Centre, Auckland's main train and bus station.
The terminal building was built on reclaimed land between 1909 and 1912, and constructed of sandstone and brick on a base of Coromandel granite. It was extensively restored between 1986 and 1988 and now houses shops, cafes, and restaurants on the lower level, with ferry operations, ticketing kiosks, and waiting areas moved to a recent addition at the rear of the building.
Since 1982, the Auckland Ferry Terminal has been a Category 1 structure listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
