Little Falls City Hall is a historic city hall located at Little Falls in Herkimer County, New York. It was built between 1916 and 1918, and is a 2 1/2-story, steel frame building faced in brick and terra cotta in the Classical Revival style. It has a slate covered mansard roof with decorative copper and dormers and sits on a concrete foundation. Atop the roof is a large lantern structure with a tiled dome roof and arched windows paneled with colored art glass. The main section of the building is seven bays wide and two bays deep. The front facade features a monumental, three-bay, projecting center entrance pavilion with four fluted pilasters.

It was designed by William Neil Smith of New York City, who designed many buildings in upstate New York, including the local masonic temple in 1914. Carl Haug & Sons, local architects, were originally hired to design the building, but were reduced to supervising architects for Smith. The builders were Hallinan & Snyder of Little Falls and G. B. Willis & Company of New York.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
