Richmond Town Hall is the town hall of Richmond, New Hampshire. It is located on the east side of New Hampshire Route 32, about one mile north of its junction with New Hampshire Route 119. Built in 1780, and originally used for both civic and religious purposes, it is one of the oldest meeting houses in the state. It is a plain white clapboarded structure measuring 30 feet (9.1 m) wide and 40 feet (12 m) long. Its religious trappings (pews and pulpit) were removed in 1884, at which time the rear gallery space was adapted to house town offices, and a stage was added to the auditorium in place of the pulpit.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
