Ipoh Town Hall, or Dewan Bandaran Ipoh, is a historic building in the heart of Ipoh, Perak. It is directly across from the Ipoh Railway Station, on Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab (formerly Club Road).

The majestic town hall building was designed by colonial government architect A.B. Hubback, who also designed the Ipoh Railway Station along with many of the now historic buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Construction of the Ipoh Town Hall began in 1914, but due to interruption to material supply brought about by World War I, the building was only completed in 1916.
The Ipoh Post Office used to occupy the eastern end of the Ipoh Town Hall Building. For that reason, the road that ran between Club Road and Belfield Street (Jalan Sultan Yusuff) was known as Post Office Road (now it is called Jalan Dato Sagor). For many years, the Ipoh Town Hall building also served as the district police headquarters, which has since moved into its own complex further south.
