Jackson City Hall, located in Jackson, Mississippi, is the seat of municipal government.

Originally constructed in 1846-47 at a cost of $8,000, the building was either enlarged or rebuilt in 1853-54 because of structural problems.

During the American Civil War, the building was used as a hospital and was left standing by Federal troops despite heavy damage inflicted on other buildings throughout Jackson. Speculation was that General Sherman, a Freemason, spared the building because it housed a Masonic Lodge, though a more likely reason is that it housed an army hospital.

The building underwent extensive renovation in 1963-64.
