Little Falls City Hall is a historic city hall located at Little Falls in Herkimer County, New York. It was built between 1916 and 1918, and is a 2 1/2-story, steel frame building faced in brick and terra cotta in the Classical Revival style. It has a slate covered mansard roof with decorative copper and dormers and sits on a concrete foundation. Atop the roof is a large lantern structure with a tiled dome roof and arched windows paneled with colored art glass. The main section of the building is seven bays wide and two bays deep. The front facade features a monumental, three-bay, projecting center entrance pavilion with four fluted pilasters.^[2]

It was designed by William Neil Smith of New York City, who designed many buildings in upstate New York, including the local masonic temple in 1914.^[3] Carl Haug & Sons, local architects, were originally hired to design the building, but were reduced to supervising architects for Smith.^[4] The builders were Hallinan & Snyder of Little Falls and G. B. Willis & Company of New York.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.^[1]
