Long Wharf and Customhouse Block is an historic area located at the foot of State Street on Long Wharf (Boston) in Boston, Massachusetts.

The area was largely built in the early nineteenth century. State Street is the site of the first area settled by the orginal Puritan settlers in the 1630s. John Hancock's counting house still remains on Long Wharf which was the largest and most important wharf built in Boston. For many years the Customhouse Tower on State Street was the tallest building in New England. The area added to the National Historic Register in 1966.
