The Littleton Town Building, also known as the Littleton Opera House, is a historic municipal building at 1 Union Street in Littleton, New Hampshire. Built on a steep embankment overlooking the Ammonoosuc River in 1894-5, the wood frame structure presents five stories to its rear (facing the river) and three on the front. Its most prominent feature is the six-sided tower rising above its northwest corner. When built the structure housed all manner of municipal services, including fire, police, library, and town offices. The east end of the building is taken up by the opera house, a multi-galleried auditorium with a seating capacity of 750. The building was designed by Howard & Austin of Brockton, Massachusetts.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
