Winchester Town Hall is a historic town hall at 71 Mount Vernon Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The -story brick building was built in 1887 to a design by Rand and Taylor. It was funded in part by a bequest from William Parsons Winchester, for whom the town is named. Stylistically the building has Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styling. Its most prominent feature is the clock tower, a four-plus story square tower topped by a pointed roof with gables.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and included in the Winchester Center Historic District in 1986.[1]
