Jesselton Freemason Hall, Masonic meeting hall in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

The Jesselton Freemason Hall features traditional architectural elements with stained glass windows and stands as a dedicated gathering space for Masonic activities.

The hall opened in 1951 during British Crown administration, following decades of planning that began in the 1880s for establishing Masonic presence in North Borneo.

The building represents the intersection of British colonial influence and local Malaysian society through its role as a center for Masonic traditions.

Located at coordinates 5.972461, 116.073469, the hall continues to serve as the primary location for Masonic lodge meetings in Kota Kinabalu.

The Northern Borneo Royal Arch Chapter held its inaugural meeting at this location on January 19, 1962, supported by lodges from Jesselton, Elopura, and Brunei.
