{{Short description|New Zealand pub}} {{Use New Zealand English|date=April 2024}} [[File:Moutere Inn MRD.jpg|thumb|The Moutere Inn in 2022]] {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2025}} The '''Moutere Inn''' is located in [[Upper Moutere]] in the [[Tasman, New Zealand|Tasman District]] of New Zealand. It is New Zealand's oldest pub to remain operating in its original building. While there are a couple of older licenses still operating, none of them are operating from either their original location or building.

The Moutere Inn was established in 1850<ref>{{cite web|title=Moutere Inn|url=http://www.moutereinn.co.nz/|publisher=moutere.inn|accessdate=17 June 2012}}</ref> by Cordt Bennseman, a German soldier and immigrant.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Press |url=https://www.thepress.co.nz/a/nz-news/350021658/new-zealand-s-oldest-pub-the-moutere-inn-could-be-yours |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=thepress.co.nz}}</ref> The building has remained largely the same apart from the original verandah being lost when the main bar was extended in the 1960s.

The Inn now specialises in a continually changing range of craft beers, real ales and wines from around the Moutere area.
