Launceston Town Hall, Heritage administrative building in Launceston, Australia.

Launceston Town Hall is a heritage-listed building at 18/28 St John Street, designed by Peter Mills in the Italianate style. Its main façade features a colonnade, extended from four to nine columns during the 1936 works.

Launceston Town Council commissioned the building from architect Peter Mills in 1864, and the Governor of Tasmania, Thomas Gore Browne, laid the foundation stone on 21 April 1864. The structure came into use in 1867. An initial expansion followed in 1906, and in 1936 the grounds to the north were absorbed into the municipal complex, with five columns added to the original four of the colonnade. Further interventions occurred in 1970, 1988 and 1994.

The building's name is tied to its role as the seat of Launceston's municipal government, commissioned by the town council in 1864. The Italianate facade and colonnade, extended from four to nine columns in 1936, are the features residents and visitors associate with civic occasions held here.

The hall stands at 18/28 St John Street, its main façade marked by the colonnade extended to nine columns in 1936. It remains a working municipal building, so access is limited; check opening times before visiting and expect some areas to be closed to the public.

The 1936 extension absorbed land north of the original building and lengthened the main colonnade from four columns to nine, adding five. The building was commissioned in 1864 to architect Peter Mills, its foundation stone laid on 21 April 1864 by Governor Thomas Gore Browne, and it came into use in 1867.
