Ethiopian Postal Service (Ethio Postal) is the national postal service of Ethiopia.

The origin of postal services dates back to the Middle Ages and was established from the middle ages system of royal messengers who used to carry federal government files from one place to another. In most countries, the postal service established in the 18th century when different ways of transport such as mules, camels, stage-coaches and horses were used to bring mail. In some Middle-Eastern countries, even falcons were specially trained to bring written messages from one place to another. The first train mails were carried in Europe in 1830. The establishment of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1875 is what considerably promoted international mail services.

Prior to the establishment of the postal service in Ethiopia on March 9, 1894, following a royal order, correspondence was carried out through messengers understood as 'postegnas or melektegnas'. Ethiopian Postal Service was established almost two years after the birth of UPU. Menelik found in the postal service, like the telegraph and the telephone, an important means of exchanging details, first for political and administrative purposes and later on for public correspondence.

It remained in by doing this that Emperor Menelik delegated the organization of the very first postal service to Mr. Alfred IIg, a Swiss engineer who is also credited with initiating the construction of the Djibouti - Addis Ababa train line and, along with it, the setup of the very first telegraph and telephone lines in the country. In 1908, 7 French experts were given Ethiopia to oversee the facility of what was then called the Ethiopian Ministry of Posts, Telegraphs, and Telephones, as a single institution. Around the same time, Swiss postal experts arrived and started training local workers.

The building of the Djibouti - Addis Ababa train made it possible for letters, parcels and merchandise, which were previously carried on camelback. This was a vital aspect that considerably improved the rate and effectiveness of the postal service while it laid the basis for the global exchange of mail. Ethiopia ended up being a member of the Universal Postal Union in 1908.

The first Ethiopian stamps were printed in Paris in 1894 and sold in Harar, Dire Dawa, Entoto, and Addis Ababa in 1895. The first souvenir sheet called "province Block", was created and etched by M. Eugene Mousson, the distinguished French philatelic artist. They were seven denominations. 4 of the stamps showed an effigy of Menelik II wearing his golden crown and the others photo of a Lion. When Ethiopia became a member of the Universal Postal Union in 1908, the event had been commemorated with the issuance of a new set of stamps that were also utilized for worldwide mail until 1919.

In between the death of Minilik, 1913 and the coronation of Teferi Mokonen as Emperor Haile Selassie, in 1930 witnessed the constant however slow improvement of the Ethiopian post. Up until the Italian invasion of the country in 1936, the General Post Office and 2 branch offices were established in Addis Ababa. There were likewise Thirty-six post offices opened throughout the empire. The growth of postal services was consequently detained by the Italian fascist invasion. The occupying forces damaged the workplaces in the areas with the exception of those in Harar, Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa. They had tried to re-orient the Ethiopian Postal Service to fulfill their own needs.

Following the defeat of the Italian fascist forces and the restoration of Ethiopian self-reliance in 1941, everything needed to start from scratch once again. The Ministry of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones was established in order to expedite the reconstruction of the nation's war-ravaged telecommunication system. The postal and telecommunication offices were separated in 1953 and the task of bring back the postal services and the regular mail and postal organization continued briskly until the issuance of the postal pronouncement in 1966.
