Oxford Town Hall is a public building on the street called St Aldate's in central Oxford, England. It is both the seat of Oxford City Council and a venue for public meetings, entertainment and other events. It also includes the Museum of Oxford. Although Oxford is a city with its own charter, the building is referred to as the "Town Hall" (the customary term for a seat of municipal government in the UK). It is Oxford's third seat of government to have stood on the same site. The present building, completed in 1897, is Grade II* listed.
