The Parramatta Town Hall is a heritage-listed town hall located in the Greater Western Sydney suburb of Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia. Designed by Messrs Blackmann and Parkes in the Victorian Free Classical architectural style, the town hall was completed in 1883 at a cost of 2,300 to serve as the town hall and municipal chamber for the Borough of Parramatta..

Parramatta Town Hall has undergone a recent upgrade, with the City of Parramatta carefully overseeing the adaptive reuse of the iconic building's unique architectural charm and beauty, whilst adding contemporary touches that offer an air of modern comfort for this landmark venue.
