Marrickville Town Hall, Heritage-listed former town hall in Marrickville, Sydney, Australia

Marrickville Town Hall is the 1879 building at 96–106 Illawarra Road, Marrickville, with a two-storey addition from 1883. A portico and steps flanked by a lion couchant on either side mark the entrance. It is the oldest civil building in Marrickville and the fourth oldest town hall in Sydney.

The first Marrickville Town Hall opened on Illawarra Road in 1879; a two-storey addition with a portico and two couchant lions followed in 1883. Its last council meeting was held on 30 January 1922, after the new town hall on Marrickville Road, whose foundation stone was laid in 1921, opened on 11 February 1922. The Department of Education bought the old building in May 1922.

The Nike sculpture outside the 303 Marrickville Road town hall recalls the Winged Victory unveiled in 1919 before about 15,000 people, commissioned as a memorial to the 450 local residents who died in World War I. The deteriorated original was removed in 2009, and a 4-metre bronze Nike was unveiled in April 2015.

The current town hall stands at 303 Marrickville Road, opened on 11 February 1922 after its foundation stone was laid in 1921. The older 1879 building is at 96-106 Illawarra Road, a separate address about a kilometre away, so plan which one you want to see. Both are in Marrickville, an Inner West suburb of Sydney.

The old town hall on Illawarra Road became part of Marrickville Public School from May 1922 until 1985; after the school site was bought by the Department of Housing in 1988 and subdivided, the adjoining land was developed for pensioner housing.
