The Old Town House is a historic town house (town hall) at Town House Square in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
The town house was constructed in 1727. The upper level of the building served as a town hall, while the lower level was originally used as a market. The upstairs is still used as a town hall, but the lower level is the location of the Marblehead Police Museum. During the American Revolution notable proponents of liberty such as Elbridge Gerry and General John Glover debated independence in the building.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and included in the Marblehead Historic District in 1984.
