San Juan City Hall (Spanish: Casa de la Alcaldía de San Juan, or Alcaldía de San Juan) is the seat of government for the Autonomous Municipality of San Juan in Puerto Rico. The city hall is located in Old San Juan, in front of the Plaza de Armas and next to the Antiguo Palacio de la Real Intendencia (Palace of the Royal Intendancy), which today hosts the Puerto Rico Department of State.

The San Juan City Hall was built in stages from 1604 to 1789. It went through numerous additions and expansions throughout its history. Its current structure and façade by the square, inspired by the Casa de la Panadería in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid, completed in 1840 and was designed by architect Pedro García.^[1]
