The Peterborough Town House is a historic town hall at 1 Grove Street in Peterborough, New Hampshire. The two-story brick building was designed by Little & Russell and built in 1904. It occupies a prominent position at the corner of Grove and Main Streets in the center of the town. The main facade is divided into five bays, which consist of round-arched openings on the first level. The bays of the tall upper level are divided by pilasters which support a modillioned entablature and gabled pediment with oculus window. The building is topped by a small octagonal tower. In the interior, the lower level is taken up by town offices, while the upper level houses a large, high-ceilinged auditorium with a balcony at the front of the building and a stage at the back.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
