Rathaus Alsfeld, Cultural heritage monument in Alsfeld, Germany.

Rathaus Alsfeld is a town hall building featuring three stone arcades at ground level with multiple stories and steep gabled roofs at different heights. The structure combines arched masonry on the lower level with elaborate timber-framed upper sections in characteristic German construction style.

Construction took place between 1512 and 1516, showing late Gothic features that transition into Renaissance elements. The building emerged from a period when the town was economically prosperous and wanted to emphasize its administrative importance.

The upper floor keeps its original room layout: the large hall with a central pillar, once called the "Tanzboden", now serves as a council chamber, while the "Kleine Stube", formerly a courtroom, is used by the registry office as a wedding room. Both rooms retain ornamental wall and ceiling paintings from 1577 and 1655, restored in 1911, and a richly carved ceremonial door leads into the small room.

The building stands free and gable-side to the market square at Am Markt 1, so it can be walked around on all sides. Inside, a wooden spiral staircase links the floors; the meeting hall and the wedding room on the second floor are reached this way. The two upper storeys project on carved brackets, which is easiest to see from below at the corners.

The tower helmets crowning the oriel windows were removed in 1760; the ones seen today are reconstructions, added to the front in 1910/11 and to the rear in 1967/68. In 2011 Deutsche Post issued a 45-cent stamp designed by Dieter Ziegenfeuter showing the town hall, and models of it are sold by Faller and Kibri in H0 scale, by Kibri also in Z scale.
