City Hall in Meridian, Mississippi in the United States is located at 601 24th Avenue. Originally designed by architect P.J. Krouse in 1915, the building underwent several renovations during the 1950s that diminished the historic quality of the building.

After complaints of a faulty HVAC system, the building underwent a restoration to its original 1915 appearance beginning in September 2006.
