The Old WRUF Radio Station (later the University of Florida Police Department headquarters) was a historic site in Gainesville, Florida, United States. It was located on the University of Florida campus (on the southeast corner of Museum Road and Newell Drive). On September 21, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The building was demolished in 2021 to make way for a larger, more modern UF Public Safety Building.^[2] In lieu of demolition, an option to move the Old WRUF Radio Station a few hundred feet away was considered, but the cost to perform the move was estimated to be about $300,000.^[3] Construction on the UF Public Safety Building began in April 2021.^[4]
