West Stockbridge Town Hall is the seat of government of the town of West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It is located at 9 Main Street. The two story Greek Revival building was built in 1854, and has retained much of its original woodwork and integrity despite its use for a variety of civic purposes in the time since its construction. One of the few prominent 20th century exterior alterations is the addition of a cupola in 1978 to house the bell of an 1878 schoolhouse. Although it was built with the idea that other businesses would also occupy parts of the building, the town has taken over the entire space, which now also includes the public library. The downstairs houses some town offices and the library, and the upstairs, which was originally a large open hall with a stage at one end, has been partitioned for further office space, although these changes are reversible.[2]

The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
