East Maitland Police Station, Heritage police station in East Maitland, Australia.

East Maitland Police Station is a single-storey rendered brick cottage in the Victorian Classical style, built on the jail reserve at 2 John Street. Its foundations are local stone, with brick walls, blue gum and tallowwood carpentry and cedar joinery. Two chimneys remain, and the former cells and prisoners' yard survive behind the building, the yard now roofed over as a garage.

The building was constructed between 1870 and 1871 as a police lock-up facility for holding detainees. In 1914 it was modified and repurposed as residential quarters for police officers and their families.

The building's name changed with its use: it served as a police lock-up until about 1914, then as a police residence, and from around 1968 as the superintendent's residence for the adjacent Maitland Gaol. The former cells and charge room became three bedrooms and a sitting room, with a verandah added at the front.

The building is visible from the street as it sits on a main road in a residential area and can be viewed from outside. It is best visited during the day when you can clearly see the facade details and the chimneys.

The building was added to the New South Wales Heritage Register in 1999 and is one of the oldest surviving police buildings in the region. Its transformation from a detention facility to a residence shows how historical structures found new purposes over time.
