The Ayer Keroh Square (Malay : Dataran Ayer Keroh), also known as Ayer Keroh History Square (Malay : Dataran Sejarah Ayer Keroh), is a town square in Ayer Keroh, Malacca, Malaysia. It was completed in 1999 with a cost of MYR12.5 million and located to the south of Malacca Zoo and west of Ayer Keroh Lake. ^[1] The square has a 16-metre-tall Flag Pole Clock Tower at its west end and a performance stage at its south end and can accommodate around 15,000 people. ^[2] The flag pole sometimes hoists the Malaysian flag and other times the Malacca state flag.

The square underwent renovation starting in July 2011 with a cost of MYR1.5 million, in which MYR1 million was allocated for upgrade work on the abandoned area of the square and MYR0.5 million was allocated for landscaping work. ^[3]
