The Kensington Town House is the town hall of Kensington, New Hampshire. Located at 95 Amesbury Road (New Hampshire Route 150), the single-story wood frame building was erected in 1846. Its interior meeting space features structural elements reused from an earlier meeting house, dating to c. 1770. The building was enlarged in the 1880s, and a two-story addition (its height obscured because of lower grade) was added in 1918, at which time the stage and proscenium were added to the main hall. The building retains original Greek Revival features, including corner pilasters and the trim surrounding doors and windows.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
