Disclosed herein is a wrap-around gate latch assembly comprising a base frame formed by connecting together a front frame, a central frame, and a back frame. The base frame can be wrapped around a gate post for installation without drilling through the gate post. A moving plate is provided to communicate between a front part and a back part that are mounted on the base frame. A movable hook is provided in the front part, that engages or disengages with a striker bar in a latched or an unlatched position respectively. A first push button provided on the front part, is operated to disengage the hook from the striker bar for opening the latched gate. A second push button provided on the back part, is operated to push a single moving plate towards the front part thereby triggering the movable hook to release the striker bar.
