Arthur Young House (later known as the Ernst & Young building) was an office building in central Christchurch, New Zealand. It was designed for the New Zealand Methodist Trust Association by architect Charles Thomas, in the brutalist Christchurch style.
Arthur Young House was constructed in the mid-1980s on Cambridge Terrace, on the site of the former Methodist Church, which had burned down in an arson attack in 1982. The New Zealand Methodist Trust rented out much of the building to private firms.
In February 2011, the building was damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes and subsequently demolished.
