St Andrew's Hall and Blackfriars' Hall or The Halls are a Grade I listed complex of former Dominican priory church and convent buildings in the English city of Norwich, Norfolk, dating back to the 14th century.

The halls are now used for conferences, weddings, concerts, beer festivals and meetings. The maximum capacity is 1,200 people. It is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites.
