The former Defence House is historic office building in Wellington, New Zealand.

For many decades the building housed the New Zealand Defence Force, and after a period of vacancy and subsequent extensive refurbishment, it is now occupied by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

The Defence Force flags were taken down on 23 February 2007 in a ceremony to close of the building.

[2] In December 2012, it was announced that the building would be bought by Argosy Property Management for $33.2 million.
