Bristol Guildhall, Grade II* listed town hall in Small Street, Bristol, England.

The Bristol Guildhall stands as a three-story limestone structure with slate roofing, featuring symmetrical architecture with a plinth, cornice, and decorative parapet.

Constructed in the 1840s by architect Richard Shackleton Pope, this building replaced a previous thirteenth-century guildhall that served the local Guild of Merchants.

The building's first floor displays statues representing important figures including Queen Victoria, Edward III, Michael Foster, John Dunning, Edward Colston, and John Whitson.

Following its closure as a Crown Court in 1993, the building underwent modifications to accommodate new functions, including potential conversion into an art gallery.

In March 2020, the building experienced a substantial fire that required fifty firefighters and equipment from Bristol Harbour to control the blaze.
