Moscow City Hall, Town hall in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia

Moscow City Hall is a red-brick building on Revolution Square, completed in 1890–1892 to Dmitry Chichagov's design after he won the 1887 competition. Its symmetrical facade has rows of narrow arched windows, pilasters and carved bands, steep grey patterned roofs with small spires, and a taller tower-like bay near the middle-right. The south part of the Kitai-gorod Mint was built into the structure.

The Moscow City Duma commissioned the building in 1887; 38 designs were submitted and Dmitry Chichagov won, with construction from 1890 to 1892. The south part of the Kitai-gorod Mint was built into the structure. After 1917 the Duma was disbanded and the building became the Lenin Museum, whose interiors were plastered or painted over. Since the 1990s it has belonged to the State Historical Museum.

The building's name comes from the Duma, the city council that commissioned it in 1887. Its carved bands and arched windows quote the adjacent State Historical Museum and the Kremlin's Terem Palace, while the interiors once mixed Italianate elements. A red banner and a sign with lettering hang on the facade today.

The building is viewable from outside and sits in a busy district with good access for pedestrians. Visitors should note that certain areas may have limited access and it is wise to check in advance about visiting opportunities.

The south part of the Kitai-gorod Mint, an early 18th-century structure, was built into the new city hall, so the complex holds two centuries of construction. In 2012 a two-storey pavilion by architect P. Yu. Andreyev opened in the inner courtyard, housing the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812 as a branch of the State Historical Museum.
