Postal is a 2007 German-American action comedy film co-written and directed by Uwe Boll, and starring Zack Ward, Dave Foley, Chris Coppola, Jackie Tohn, J. K. Simmons, Verne Troyer, Larry Thomas, David Huddleston and Seymour Cassel.

Like some of Boll's previous films including House of the Dead (2003) and Alone in the Dark (2005), Postal is a film adaptation of a video game, in this case, Postal (1997), though this film draws more heavily from the video game's sequel, Postal 2 (2003). Also like Boll's predecessors, it was a critical and commercial failure, grossing less than 1% of its budget.
