Hamilton Townhouse is a building in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, which is operated by South Lanarkshire Council. It contains both the town's main public hall (formerly known as Hamilton Town Hall) and public library, as well as various council departments including licensing and community learning.
The building, although appearing to be one, was actually built in stages over a 21-year period. The library section of the complex was opened by Andrew Carnegie in 1907. The adjacent townhouse offices were opened by King George V in 1914 and finally the town hall completed the building in 1928.
