Prudnik Town Hall is a historical town hall built in the Classical architectural style, completed in 1782. The town hall is located in the centre of the Market Square (Rynek) in Prudnik, Poland.[1]

The first town hall, made out of wood, was burnt down by the Swedes in 1627. The next town hall built in 1627, in a Baroque architectural style, and was damaged in 1650, 1653, 1735, and 1779.
