The Quincy Police Station is located at 442 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts. The original three-story yellow brick Classical Revival structure was designed by the local firm of Clark, Batty and Gallagher, and built in 1925 for $75,000. It is the city's first purpose-built police station. It has only modest styling, including brick pilasters separating its window bays, and a simple cornice topped by a parapet which has a raised section containing the city seal.[2] The building has had a modern addition made to it.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
