Hulme Hall is a traditional University of Manchester hall of residence situated at the Victoria Park Campus in Rusholme, Manchester, housing 300 students.[1] It has a range of facilities including the John Hartshorne Centre: a 300 seat lecture theatre with attached seminar rooms; a library; Junior Common Room and study spaces; music room; old dining hall; the Victoria Park bar; and chapel.

The hall is the oldest student accommodation in Manchester, founded in association with Owens College.[2] It was named after the Lancashire lawyer and landowner William Hulme whose Hulme Trust funded the Hall's foundation. It is a Grade II listed building.[3] Along with Dalton-Ellis Hall, Ashburne Hall, St. Anselm Hall, and Woolton Hall, Hulme is one of the five remaining traditional collegiate halls of residence at the University of Manchester. The hall is currently made up of a Junior Common Room of undergraduates, though formerly was home to a Senior Common Room.
