Bellevue Standpipe is a historic water storage tank on Bellevue Hill at Washington Street and West Roxbury Parkway in Boston, Massachusetts. The masonry structure was built by the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board (predecessor to today's MWRA) in 1914 to contain a 2,500,000 steel water storage tank, as part of the Southern Extra High Service Area.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]

A second water storage tank was added at this location in 1955-56.[3]
