Norrköpings rådhus, Municipal town hall in Norrköping, Sweden

Norrköpings rådhus is a municipal building of dark red Helsingborg brick banded with grey granite, designed by Isak Gustaf Clason and completed in 1910. Its 68-metre square clock tower rises near the centre-left, topped by a gilded 4.5-metre statue of Saint Olof, known as Gull-Olle. The main block has a dark pitched roof with chimneys and dormers, and rows of windows with stone trim.

The present town hall was built in 1907–1910 to Isak Gustaf Clason's design, replacing a 1724–1734 predecessor demolished in 1906. That older building had risen after Russian troops burned Norrköping in 1719. The new house opened on 28 November 1910 at a cost of 1,700,000 kronor, and a fire on 27 May 1942 destroyed some interior fittings.

Guild emblems of Norrköping's crafts are carved on the pilasters between the windows of the facade; in some cases an old guild seal served as the model. The main entrance and the Tyska torget front carry most of the building's sculpture and inscriptions, made after plaster models by sculptor Johan Axel Wetterlund.

The building stands at Tyska torget in central Norrköping, and its exterior can be viewed at any time from the square. A major renovation begun in summer 2022, prompted by workplace-environment problems, ran into delays and cost overruns and was still not fully finished in October 2025, so check locally before expecting to go inside. The 68-metre tower and the gilded Saint Olof on top are best seen from a distance on the square.

The 68-metre tower rests on four massive concrete pillars, the longest of which reaches bedrock 20 metres below ground, because the site was marshy; 4,274 wooden piles were driven in before construction. During excavation in May 1907, workers found the skeleton of a Greenland seal with a harpoon blade between its bones, dating from the Littorina Sea period.
