The Canterbury Town Hall was an Australian municipal town hall located at 322 Canterbury Road in Canterbury, a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, New South Wales. It was built in 1889 in the Victorian Free Classical architectural style by architect W. H.

When the council moved to a new purpose-built administration centre on Beamish Street in Campsie, a recognition of the change in economic importance of Campsie, the town hall was quickly disposed of by Council and demolished, being replaced by a service station. Today the Town Hall site is part derelict and part paint shop.
