Starbeck Hall is a historic building in Starbeck, a suburb of Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed between 1810 and 1811 as the town's workhouse. It replaced a smaller building at Land Green Farm, near Pannal. In 1854, a new Poor Law Union was established, based in Knaresborough, and in 1858 a new workhouse was opened there. The old building was converted into the Beech Grove Academy boarding school, and then later into apartments, named Starbeck Hall. [1] [2] The building was grade II listed in 1975. [3]

The building is constructed of stone, with an eaves cornice, and a tile roof with a coped shaped gable containing a round-headed arch surmounted by an urn, and kneelers with finials. It has three storeys and seven bays, the middle three bays projecting. In the centre is a porch set in an earlier porch, with a cornice on bracketed consoles, and the windows are recessed sashes.
