The Newcastle Customs House, also known as the Customs House Hotel, is a heritage-listed building designed by James Barnet located at the corner of Bond Street and Watt Street in Newcastle, New South Wales. Built in the Italianate Renaissance Revival style popular at the time, the building suffered damage during the 1989 Newcastle earthquake and reopened as a hotel in 1995.
