Buxton Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall at Market Place in Buxton, England.

The building displays French château architecture with a mansard roof, iron railings, Venetian windows, and a central clock tower with cupola.

Following the destruction of the Market Hall by fire in 1885, William Pollard designed the new town hall, which opened in 1889.

The building contains a commemorative bust of Lord Cavendish, while the clock tower features a timepiece gifted by Duke of Devonshire tenants.

The town hall functions as an administrative center where residents can attend council meetings and access municipal services throughout the week.

The structure incorporates millstone grit from Nithen Quarry at Corbar Hill, with former open arcades that were later converted into interior rooms.
