The Seagull Pit is a derelict building site and tourist attraction on Armagh Street in the Christchurch Central City, New Zealand. The pit was formed when the derelict basement of the former PricewaterhouseCoopers Building became flooded by rainwater, attracting wild gulls that built nests there. The building had been demolished following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

In 2024 a Google Maps listing for the location was created, and it was described as a "tongue-in-cheek" tourist attraction in news media.
