Postal killings in various countries resulted in fatalities that have occurred on the properties of postal systems or related issues/events. The main sections are divided by countries. Events are listed in chronological order.

December 17, 1926, Adelaide: fired postal worker James Hannivan shot and wounded two employees at Adelaide General Post Office, before committing suicide by shooting himself in the head. December 8, 1987, Queen Street massacre, Melbourne: Frank Vitkovic, former law student, entered an office building on Queen Street at 4:20 p. m. with the intent to murder a former school friend and kill as many people as possible before taking his own life. In the ensuing shooting spree eight people were killed and five injured. At around 4:30 p. m. after the gun was wrestled from him, he jumped to his death from the 11th floor. Vitkovic's former friend did not work for a postal department, but for a credit union that was a tenant of the building. Most of the other floors were occupied by the offices of Australia Post and most of the victims were Australia Post office workers.

October 30, 1934, Quebec: Rosaire Bilodeau, ex carrier of the Quebec postal service, drove five of his family members out into the woods, in two trips, and killed them. He then took 8 shots at postmaster Morin, senior mail clerk Moïse Jolicoeur, and divisional superintendent Oscar Fiset, killing Jolicoeur.

August 13, 1970, Los Angeles, California: Harry Sendrow, 54, a postal supervisor, was shot in the back three times by Alfred Kellum, 41, whom Sendrow had sent home for being intoxicated. Five hours later Kellum was found unconscious and arrested. Police officers said he appeared to be intoxicated.

Ford and a postal tour superintendent, Eldred Curtis McDonald.

A postal employee said Collins had received a letter of reprimand from the supervisor and slashed the tires on her car two days earlier. Collins was charged with murder and attempted murder. August 19, 1983, Johnston, South Carolina: Perry Smith, a resigned USPS employee, charged into the Johnston post office with a 12 gauge shotgun and began firing at workers in a hall, killing the postmaster and wounding two other employees.

March 21, 1995, Montclair, New Jersey: Christopher Green, a former postal employee, killed four people, including two employees, and wounded a fifth at the Fairfield Street branch post office. While this is a postal killing, the primary motivation appears to have been debt payment, and there was no indication that the former employee was mentally disturbed as a result of his former postal work. July 10, 1995, City of Industry, California: 25 year postal clerk Bruce Clark punched his supervisor in the back of the head following an argument at the City of Industry mail processing center and left the work area.

San Marco committed suicide at the sorting facility. April 4, 2006, Baker City, Oregon: While on duty, Grant Gallaher, a letter carrier for 13 years, reportedly went home and got his .357 Magnum revolver and drove to the city post office with the intention of killing the postmaster. Arriving at the parking lot, he ran over his supervisor several times. After unsuccessfully searching the building for the postmaster, he returned to the parking lot and shot his supervisor several times at close range, ostensibly to ensure she was dead. He reportedly then fired three bullets at the windshield of her car and three more into the hood.
