In [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], [[urban legend]]s, and many [[fiction]]al stories, the '''government warehouse''' is a nondescript warehouse in which a government secretly keeps items hidden from the public. Often, conspirators in government agencies operate the warehouse and store items there.

The government warehouse is featured in many fictional stories==Descriptions==

The exact locations of such warehouses are unknown and may have several locations. The [[British]] Government Warehouse, the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] Warehouse, the [[Soviet]] Government Warehouse, and the [[Japan]]ese Government Warehouse may be part of a network of the original United States Government Warehouse, according to some conspiracy theorists. (Some sources have these as a subdivision in the original United States Government Warehouse.)

The warehouse is supposedly comprised of a [[Secret society|secret organization]] whose members are sworn to secrecy and do not disclose their membership, location, nor the operations. The Government Warehouse allegedly contains everything that fell into government hands and was never seen again. The Government Warehouse also allegedly includes things that individuals claim exist but the Government has decided to hide away, such as suppressed inventions. It has been alleged to be located in a fish processing and packaging plant, United States Government surplus warehouse, and the World Trade Center.
