This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Uruguay.
Uruguay is in the southeastern part of South America and has a population of over 3 million people, almost half of whom live in the capital Montevideo and its metropolitan area. Uruguay's only land border is with Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, to the north. To the west lies the Uruguay River, to the southwest lies the estuary of Río de la Plata, with Argentina across the banks of either of those bodies of water, while to the southeast lies the Atlantic Ocean. Uruguay, at 177,880 square kilometres (68,679 sq mi),[1] is the second-smallest nation of South America in terms of area after Suriname.
