Academy Hall is a historic former school building at 785 Old Main Street in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. It is a Federal style building from 1803. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

When listed on the NRHP it was believed to be one of few original Federal style buildings in Connecticut that had been little altered in its exterior. The building has been used for educational purposes from 1803 to 1941. In 1977, it was again being used educationally, as the Academy Hall Museum, which is operated by the Rocky Hill Historical Society.[2]
