The New Ipswich Town Hall is a historic academic and civic building on Main Street (New Hampshire Route 123A) in the center village of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. The 1-1/2 story wood frame structure was built in 1817 to serve the dual purpose of providing a place for town meetings to take place, and to provide space for a private academy. It was built with two full stories, and a tower with belfry, much in the manner of typical New England churches of the period. The academy eventually moved to another building, and the town made significant alterations in the 1869, enlarging its footprint, removing the tower's cupola, and the removal of the second floor to provide a single, high-ceilinged auditorium. The exterior also received a number of Greek Revival features at this time. The building has been little altered since 1869.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
