Whitcoulls is a major national bookstore chain in New Zealand, formerly known as Whitcombe & Tombs. It has 62 stores nationally.

Whitcombe & Tombs was founded in 1888, and Coulls Somerville Wilkie in 1871. The companies merged in 1971 to form Whitcoulls.

After a period under the ownership of UK company W. H. Smith, Whitcoulls is presently owned by Pacific Equity Partners, a subsidiary of UK-based insurance company Prudential, which acquired the chain in 2004.
